I applied online. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Oakland, CA)
Interview
The first round interview was with two junior members and was mostly behavioral, with a short case section. The second round interview was with a wide range of people. There were behavioral questions as well as questions about my writing sample. The case interview was tough in that the dataset was quite large, but my interviewer was really nice.
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.
