I found out about them from University recruiting and applied through their website. Within a day I was contacted by them to do a video interview platform. During the interview they show you a question and you have 30-60 seconds to respond and your responses are recorded. If you do a little prep work ahead of time you will be fine.

6. Why do you want to work at alphasights
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY)
Interview
Filled out the online motivation form which I felt I answered quite strong. Participated in the 5 minute video interview which showed you a question for 3 seconds (questions like describe AlphaSights, tell me about a time you failed and what are you passionate about) and immediately began recording you after for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. There is no prep time like some of the other reviews said. I was a bit caught off guard and I didn't give my best performance but surprisingly they called me to do the interview on Google Hangout. Prior to the Google Hangout they gave me pre-interview questions which consisted of a case study but never asked me any of them in the hangout. All they wanted to know about was why I chose my school, what other schools I had applied to and what organizations I was in on campus and things like that. In the end I did not receive an offer which is a shame because I had done a lot of research on the company and had a lot of great ideas for the case study but I was never given the opportunity to show off the actual skills needed for the job.
Each step had about a two day review process.
