Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The recruitment process of FTI Capital Advisors is very disrespectful.
This is attributed to the fact that you complete a video interview within two days of applying. This video interview consisted of easy behavioral questions (TMABY, WHY FTI).
Then 5 weeks afterwards, I got an interview with an associate from Dubai even though I applied for the Johannesburg office, which did not make any sense. Normally, if you apply for the South African office, you conduct your interviews with an individual from the South African which wasn't the case in my application.

Most importantly, I was busy with my final exams when they gave me 3 days to prepare for this interview.
