I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
An on line video assessment. They present you with questions, you have 5 seconds to read and collect your thoughts, and then 30 seconds to answer. Very tough to think of things that quickly and also sound coherent so make sure you know your answers to generic behavioral questions. I just completed the video assessment last week and got an automated email that I will hear from them in 2 weeks. Definitely make sure to read up on the company a lot before doing this. Also, they use this video screening to make sure you are normal/ more than just a resume. So if you aren't comfortable with speaking off the cuff then this will be tough.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Who is your favorite artist? Describe AlphaSights in your own words?
The process is fairly simple, and the firm is great with getting in touch with you. The first interview was web-cam based. I was asked to have a google hangout interview, which lasted 40 minutes. Mostly behavioral questions thus far, and I am waiting to hear back from them.
After initially applying I did a video interview where questions were put on the screen and you get 5 seconds before it starts recording your answer. Felt like there wasn't enough time to prepare for the questions
