I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (Beijing, Beijing) in Jan 2014
Interview
Initial interview with MD of GRIP after being put in touch with a recruiter. In-person interview was fairly informal, straight-forward and altogether fairly easy. Seemed like more of an assessment of my interest and dedication to the industry as opposed to competency (my CV more or less speaks for itself in terms of experience).
Second interview was scheduled shortly thereafter with 3 additional MDs. This interview as well was fairly simple, with the only added layer of difficulty being that it was a 3on1 interview. There was also a Chinese language component (due to this position being in greater China).
Topics covered include anti-corruption compliance, enhanced due diligence, fraud investigations, etc.

Other Senior Consultant Interview Reviews for FTI Consulting
Initial call with recruiter to ask about interest and why FTI, This was then followed up by 4 rounds with team members across different grades - directors, partners etc, In each round, there was a case study as well as a behavioural component. They like to really dive deep into past experience and your interest in the role.
Interview questions [1]

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at FTI Consulting
Interview
Possibly the worst recruitment process i have ever experienced.
The emails were extremely unprofessional, with no content, titled 'Hi from FTI' asking me to set up interviews with no proposed dates or named stakeholders. At times, i had to chase multiple times before any response to set up a following interview.
After a lengthy process and difficult communication, and interviewing with 7 different stakeholders, a generic email was given, with no feedback.
Based on this experience, i would not have taken a job at FTI.
