I interviewed at Charles River Associates (London, England)
Interview
first had to draft a FT article then do a numeracy test nothing too difficult. Then had a case study with 30 mins to answer some questions around IO and Econometrics. Then reported findings whilst being questioned by two analysts.

Question 1
what other data would be useful in you're analysis
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.
