I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Third Bridge (Londres, Angleterre)
Interview
FIRST OF ALL: This is not a research analyst position. This is 80% cold calling as informed by the employees.
Brief telephone interview, competency based; teamwork and collaboration and a time I had a conflict within a team. Then straight to the final interview in the firm; First part was 60 mins with 2 employees which involved a LOT of questions, mainly competency based. A time I had to meet a tight deadline, a time I failed to meet a tight deadline. Then a case study presentation which was kind of a brainstorming with the other 2; a fictional firm where I had to break down the value chain, i.e. external stakeholders and how I could receive information on the firm from those stakeholders to see how the fictional firm is performing. Finally another 40 mins interview with 3 employees, more questions such as a time I failed and disadvantaged the team with that mistake.

Interview
Got a phone screen interview for the research analyst position. The position seemed interesting, a little like a sales job but more involvement which makes it intriguing. The phone screen however was so scripted. You could tell the interviewer just had a list of questions they needed to get thru and they didnt even really take the time to make the process conversational. At points the interviewer had asked me multiple times to repeat my answer, and there were long pauses all throughout the conversation. I also had questions as we were talking, and they informed me questions would only be taken at the end....
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Third Bridge (New York, NY) in Nov 2016
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me after meeting with representatives at a university career fair. The process consisted of one phone screening and a super day interview at their office. The phone interview was simple behavioral questions with a university recruiter. The super day consisted of two interviews and a case study. My first interview was three on one, with a VP and two team leaders. If was fairly difficult, as they ask questions looking for specific real life examples and press you until they get a satisfactory answer. Then there was a case study where you break down a company's supply chain. The second interview was two on one and much easier. The company has a very young vibe, and it seems like there is lots of opportunity for growth.
