I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Associates in Sep 2011
Interview
two 30 minutes back to back interviews.
First was a behavioral question with 2 analysts. questions were asked on personality/ work experience.
Second was a Skills test composed of multiple macro/micro-economics questions. not hard at all but you need to be quick.
Two technical interviews, with example real world scenarios. Real world scenarios could be BEC, ransomware, or dead-box forensics. Then, two "personality/vibe" interviews, where they asked about how you handle failure, difficult or new scenarios, and what your work approach is.
There are two rounds of interview for incoming analysts, One with two juniors, fairly quick and not technical. There was also a second interview with 4 rounds, each of which was with a more senior level person
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why I am interested in the practice area I applied for
Smooth. 2 rounds of interview. A lot of questions surrounding research experiences and data processing. Not too many technicals. Many fit questions as well. Generally not difficult and got back to me pretty fast.
