I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Swarthmore, PA) in Oct 2013
Interview
First round interview was 30 min on campus with two recent grads. Spent the first 15 minutes asking general behavioral questions - such as explain how you have communicated technical findings with lay audiences or explain a time that you failed on a project. Then we spent 15 minutes having me ask them questions.
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

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.
