I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Nov 2016
Interview
Automated video interview is sent after applying that needs to be completed in 7 days. I waited till the last minute, but I advise against it. Found the job through my college's career website where it is usually displayed, for either the Entry Level Analyst or Experienced Analyst Program.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AlphaSights

Interview
Had a video interview where I had to record myself answering four separate questions. Pay attention to the questions that have been posted here because they were correct, and think about what you want to say. The video interview itself is very fast paced - you're given 15 seconds to think about the question offered on screen, then 60 seconds to answer the question. After the question has been answered it moves immediately to the next one.
If I had to offer criticism, I wasn't a fan of this format. I have no problems speaking in front of a camera, but I couldn't help but feel like this was very impersonal, especially after receiving a very generic decline message. The informational videos offered online make their company seem welcoming but their first round "interview" left me feeling uneasy.
