I applied online. I interviewed at Charles River Associates in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview was purely about your experience and a case study. First some technical questions and then a case you had to solve. It felt like the interviewers had a clear answer in mind of what they wanted to hear and if you didn't say this, you were wrong.
I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Munich, Bavaria)
Interview
I applied online, 3 weeks to call to interview. the interview consisted of introduction and motivation, professional questions (about a merger of my choice and my thesis - mostly methodology) and a cartel damage estimation case study
Two Rounds; the first was an informational interview with two junior staff (analyst and associate). Very friendly, typical interview questions with an emphasis on econometrics and data science backgrounds. The second round was nearly four hours, with one formal case interview and two interviews with Principals.
