I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (New York, NY) in Oct 2011
Interview
Two rounds of interviews:
First round was at the school with one person
Second round was at their office with a number of different people of varying importance in the company.
Most of the questions were more behavioral than technical with only two or three being technical. I was given a small case study that I needed to answer without any time to think about it, although I could ask questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked a couple questions about the cash flow statement, which I am somewhat familiar with, but not an expert on by any means.
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.
