I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Associates in Oct 2015
Interview
The interview process was pretty painless. Did on-campus first round, got contacted for final round. Lasted half day, with 30 min interviews with people at all levels. Very nice and enjoyed talking to people. Be prepared to answer behavioral questions about challenging team dynamics, research, and any work with data.
Had a good experience overall and seems like a nice place to work.
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.
