The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Associates
Interview
First round: short case + fit
Second round: 5 back to back interviews. 2 cases, 1 presentation, and 2 fits
The scheduling process was HORRIBLE. Provided availabilities for the next two weeks, yet second round was scheduled less than 24 hours before the interview. Informed that a presentation of past analytical work was needed and literally had no time to prepare. Not sure if that was a pressure test or simply lack of professionalism.
I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Brussels)
Interview
Interviews based on case studies covering competition theory and damages estimation. Had 3 different interviews, first with juniors and 2 with seniors, and one written test. Basic game theory and econometrics required

I applied online. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (London, England)
Interview
3 stages:
1. Simple test with maths/ comprehension
2. 1 hour 30 interview. 30 minutes reading information / slides on a case. 10 minutes presenting then the rest of the 50 minutes discussing the case/ general questions.
3. 1 hour interview with more senior staff. Mostly case-based.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (London, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
3 rounds, including a 2 hours in the office interview. Finally did not get the job in the final round. But overall the interview process is not very complicated and very insightful, I recommend.
