I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Oct 2014
Interview
Hiring process was fast, at the time they were offering on campus interviews followed up with an in-office interview with multiple rounds. Other times they screen though video interviews, Google Hang outs, and in-person case studies. For the most part, the interviewers were kind, conversational, and wanted to learn about you and your goals, not just hear pre-formulated answers.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY)
Interview
First round interview involved an automated interview process. Questions appeared on the screen, and you had 15 - 60 seconds to record an answer. Most of the questions were about AlphaSights itself, regarding their background and how it relates to what you are looking for in a job. Unclear how much weight they give to these responses.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Jun 2015
Interview
There were some aptitude tests to take and also a video recording interview. Talking to camera was a little unnerving, especially since you only have 5 seconds to think for an answer. Just read the other reviews here and be prepared to succinctly answer every question on here.
A lot of steps to the interview process; CV, Video Interview, Connect Day, Interview. A lot of questions asked at the interview were not related to the job role per se but were about why I had made certain choices e.g. to study a particular degree topic, to go to a particular University over another. A great deal of time was spent answering these irrelevant questions rather than assessing key competencies or knowledge of the firm and role.
