I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cornerstone Research (Washington, DC) in Apr 2010
Interview
Initial communication with the company was very professional although the recruiter misplaced my email so I had to email her again to follow-up and schedule for another interview.
The interview was with 2 analysts (45 mins each) For each interview, it consisted of behavioral interview for about 25 mins and a case interview for the next 20 minutes. The analyst will help you through the brainstorming process of the case interview.
My advice would be to be prepared for the case interview. Have a calculator, pen, and paper handy even when the interview is done on the phone.
