I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
The hiring process is unique. There is no cover letter. Rather, you write a 200 word essay on how you already embody on elf their core values. My suggestion is to be bold. Chose something that is uniquely you, and makes you stand out.
Next step is a video assessment that is very uncomfortable, but I can see the benefit to AlphaSights. They really just want to see your personality. It's very similar to what other reviews have said. The questions are all accurate. Honestly, I think I over prepared. It is better to just be yourself and take the questions as they come. If you make a mistake, don't worry, regather in between questions and show your poise.
The next step is a google hangout, which I am awaiting.
Good luck!

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Jan 2015
Interview
Sent in a resume online for the position. I was notified that I was selected for an interview online through AlphaSights's own video interview service which was strange. You are asked about 7 questions and have 30sec-1 minute to answer them and it is all recorded. Kind of impersonal and kind of jarring.
