I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Boston, MA) in Oct 2013
Interview
On-campus interview with 2 junior staff. In-office superday with 5 members (3 senior staff, 2 junior staff), and a lunch. Case and behavioral questions. Why CRA and consulting? Focus is on personality questions.

Question 1
Case interview - market sizing, and sample entering a new market question
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.
