I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Jan 2015
Interview
Passed the first round which was a prompter video call. Second round was Google Hangout. Brandeis University was very rude and cut me off a few times, she basically said everything I know is wrong, and mistated what I had said to her and when I tried to correct her she didn't listen and went on to the next question. She was not genuine or interested in what I had to say and her tone of voice was mocking and rude.

very swift and seamless. The interview process was quick and efficient with constant communication for the team and the recruiter as well. I heard back quick after each interview section.

Interesting conversations. Behavioral + simulation case. If you know what the job is about and you have an interest you'll do well. Two rounds of interviews, first one was all behavioral, second one was both.
