I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
First I had a phone call screening, the questions were standard. The next step was a video interview. The questions were standard but the form of interview extremely awkward and in my opinion ineffective.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Pretty straightforward. One video screen. And two skype interviews. I did not make it past the second skype interview. The first interview went great and the second one the person interviewing me seemed very uninterested.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Feb 2018
Interview
I submitted my application Sunday night and the recruiting team emailed me Monday morning to participate in a recorded online screening. You are prompted by a standard interview question and then are recorded answering that question. AlphaSights does a great job in making the process user friendly but it is truly awful. Eliminating the human element was a challenge I was not ready for. PREP PREP PREP is key. Practice talking to yourself - getting pace right is tough.
