I applied through university. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Boston, MA) in Sep 2018
Interview
The interviewer was ill-prepared and showed little interest in the interview. He ran out of questions to ask 15 minutes into the interview, and said he didn’t have enough questions because he had had too little time on his drive to scan resumes.
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.
