I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Oakland, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
First round interview was conducted in a relaxed environment. The interviewers were super nice. They were very keen in answering all the questions. I got arranged for second round interview the day after my first interview on campus. They were very flexible in arranging time to accommodate my schedule.
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.
