I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
I enjoyed the process- each interview felt more like they were really trying to get to know me rather than just test me. All steps are described on Glassdoor (Video Assessment, Skype, On-Site with case studies, VP, MD). The best way to prepare is to learn as much about the company and the role as possible, and know how the role aligns with your career goals. Don't apply for the role if you aren't passionate about it or AlphaSights, you'll just be wasting your time as you need to invest in this process. Everyone I spoke to was very nice and friendly, and HR got back to me quickly after every interview I had. Great company and great process overall.
Interview process was ok, several stages and language test as it was a particular language speaking role, only downside really was very little feedback given at the end when not successful. When I asked for a feedback call as to why I wasn’t successful they didn’t answer my question and it was a 2 mins call saying that I was just unsuccessful.
