RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at FTI Consulting full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
- Great place to learn new skills and have different experiences
- Smart people to work with
- Focus on client work, different than other consulting firms as the company is willing to quickly adopt to clients needs
- Deep bench of functional skills sets and expertise between different divisions at FTI that can be leveraged to provide client with customized solutionsCons
- Lack of transparency for promotions
- Work life balance is tough. Company often announces initiatives but has not usually followed through with tangible action
- Depending on division, there is definitely a political hierarchy driving agendas in who gets promoted, who gets best assignments, who gets opportunities to drive business development, etc.FTI Consulting 2018-03-26 18:56 PDTHelpful (1)

StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at FTI Consulting full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Good people and a wide variety of work.
Cons
Current CEO says something is a priority but actually incentivizes the opposite.
Advice to Management
CEO needs to realize what our actual business is as stop treating his employment like its a short term consulting project.

Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEOI worked at FTI Consulting full-time
Pros
Reasonable benefits package and many passionate and capable colleagues
Cons
Leadership talks a good talk, but is quick to cut out large portions of its workforce rather than finding other opportunities internally. I watched numerous layoffs while employed there.
Advice to Management
The Costco model is a good one - value your employees, customers and suppliers. Stock value results from this focus.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at FTI Consulting full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Great people - this is the primary reason that I hated to leave. Great vacation. Challenging work. Snacks.
Cons
Trending toward open cubes and more frequent distractions. People yell their questions as soon as they think of them without considering how they're outburst is distracting other people.
Database-heavy application without enough database experts.FTI Consulting 2018-03-22 00:03 PDT![FTI Consulting Logo]()

Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEOI worked at FTI Consulting full-time
Pros
none. none. none. none. none.
Cons
runs rampant with toxic personalities who are allowed to advance, young consultants behave like they are still in college and frequently engage in backstabbing and "tattle taling", personalities who know how to manipulate the situation but add no value to the work at the end of the day are praised. if you are looking for a professional environment to nurture and grow your career, this place is not it.
Advice to Management
Don't listen to the first person who runs to you with a story to tell. Be objective. Don't encourage those who people who add no value to the situation just because they can talk the talk (but they cannot walk the walk).

I worked at FTI Consulting full-time
Pros
Great learning environment; came away with a lot of tangible skills and good management; ability to move around on projects
Cons
There are still projects that can have long hours and can be too technically focused and not enough on the business side.
