I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (London, England) in Apr 2018
Interview
Found job via LinkedIn and applied online with CV and cover letter. 3 weeks later received an interview offer via email in London. They split us up into 3 groups of 3 and we stuck with this group the whole time with one interviewer sticking with us making notes. Different interviewers came into the room with different tasks- A case study scenario, market sizing and brain teaser question, competency and skills and then a group case study scenario. Interviewers were casual and made us feel comfortable although questions were sometimes technical and difficult. Afterwards there was an opportunity to talk to members of the office and ask more questions. Overall a challenging but interesting day.

Interview
I applied online, 3 weeks to call to interview. the interview consisted of introduction and motivation, professional questions (about a merger of my choice and my thesis - mostly methodology) and a cartel damage estimation case study
Two Rounds; the first was an informational interview with two junior staff (analyst and associate). Very friendly, typical interview questions with an emphasis on econometrics and data science backgrounds. The second round was nearly four hours, with one formal case interview and two interviews with Principals.
