Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Charles River Associates (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di feb 2020
Colloquio
Two rounds of interviews. I only made the first one. It is composed of three parts: 30 minutes for a drafting test (summary of a FT article); 30 minutes for a mathematics test (GMAT-style, 25 questions); 1 hour interview with two consultants (junior). For this last part, I was given half an hour to review some documents and prepare a presentation on a case study. After presenting, full of follow-up questions. To conclude some motivational questions.
The process was smooth, everybody was kind and easy-going.
The only thing which did not work out perfectly is the feedback. I received a email one month later which said the review of interviews was still ongoing, and then nothing else. No negative answer or feedback.

Colloquio
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.

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.
