Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Palaiseau) in Jan 2019
Interview
At first it was supposed to be a Skype interview but due to technical problems we end up making a phone interview. The two interviewers introduced themselves then asked me to do the same. They asked questions about some project that I did and how I handled the team work. They pursued with a case study about a merger between two supermarkets, they asked me about potential negative and positive effects of the merger, example of variables that I would need if I needed to evaluate those impacts. We also talked about predatory pricing.
First, I introduced myself and gave a recap of my CV, then I had to do a case study. The conversation was 1 hour in total and I had enough time to ask my own questions. The two interviewers were very open and shared many insights about working in the company. The case study was rather easy and I had two apply basic concepts of economics.
