I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied around late November and got contacted early January. It was a self-video interview. This is rather cut throat way of interviewing people. 5 questions, 15 seconds per question to think of an answer and 30 seconds to answer. Those 30 second answers are never enough to elaborate about our own abilities, achievements, or even our personal beliefs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you want (expect) to get out of this internship?
A recruiter reached out after my application on Handshake. The first round interview was behavioral - asking questions about myself, my background, why I wanted to be on Client Services as opposed to consulting. Also asked on my understanding of the role
Easy scheduling, recruiter helped with questions I had. Able to freely schedule my interviews. There was a few interviews, some short some long. Didn’t take too long to receive offer.
The video interview is simple. But the second interview has a prep guide,, but it doesn't include the information you need to know. You walk through a supply chain, but the guide doesn't tell you to prepare for that, despite being told the guide is all you need to prepare.
