I applied online. I interviewed at Charles River Associates
Interview
Initial phone screen with current Analysts, then invited for in person interview in office/practice area I had applied to. There were two short interviews, which consisted primarily of fit/behavioral questions, moving on to some more theoretical questions about economics. Everyone I met with was very friendly, but I was frustrated that I did not hear back about the position until several weeks later
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cases surrounding the economics behind a particular policy.
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.
