I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Dec 2013
Interview
Applied from a university employment websiteInterviewed with the interviewing software. Have to answer 5 questions, each have a specific amount of time that you have to finish answering ranging from thirty seconds to two minutes. You are not allowed to answer anymore after the time has run out, so make sure to get it all in before time is up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What does Alphasights do? You only have 30 seconds to answer
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY)
Interview
First round interview involved an automated interview process. Questions appeared on the screen, and you had 15 - 60 seconds to record an answer. Most of the questions were about AlphaSights itself, regarding their background and how it relates to what you are looking for in a job. Unclear how much weight they give to these responses.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights in June 2015
Interview
There were some aptitude tests to take and also a video recording interview. Talking to camera was a little unnerving, especially since you only have 5 seconds to think for an answer. Just read the other reviews here and be prepared to succinctly answer every question on here.
A lot of steps to the interview process; CV, Video Interview, Connect Day, Interview. A lot of questions asked at the interview were not related to the job role per se but were about why I had made certain choices e.g. to study a particular degree topic, to go to a particular University over another. A great deal of time was spent answering these irrelevant questions rather than assessing key competencies or knowledge of the firm and role.
