FTI Consulting Assessment Centre
Hi everyone,
I recently received an invitation to the Assessment Centre for FTI Consulting in London, focusing on corporate restructuring. I’m curious if anyone has insights or experiences to share about how their assessment centres are structured and what I can expect. The link provided didn’t offer much information regarding what to prepare or the activities involved. Any general tips for interviews in restructuring would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
