I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
I learned about the job through my university and applied online. They asked for a short, written blurb about one personal characteristic that makes you a good fit for the company. You have several options to chose from. After that I received several email confirmations encouraging me to learn more about the company and a third that asked me to record myself in a virtual interview. They sent a link that sends you to a portal where you are prompted to set up your webcam and sound and answer a practice question. There were probably five questions an your response time is very limited (usually 30-60 seconds). They asked questions about what kind of music you like and what you do in your spare time all the way to what are three things that you want to improve about yourself in the next year.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
I applied through University, and was asked to write a short 200 words or less statement about three words that best describe me. I was then asked to do this online interview where you have 30 seconds or less to answer random questions that the automated system asked you. Not too difficult.

Question 1
What are some of your hobbies that are not on your resume?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
First round was a brief video screening process, which was pretty standard but difficult to arrange because you had a specific time limit to answer the questions. I heard back in a few days for a Skype interview with an HR Assistant. She was nice and friendly but the interview itself was very in-depth. It took almost an hour and they ask you questions dating back to your high school and early college years. I received an email within the week saying that I did not move on to the next round.
