Interview
I applied online at AlphaSights. I completed the video assessment which was a behavioral based interview. The technology aspect was what made this difficult. The video connection was unstable and kept cutting out mid-interview. It was very awkward, so practice first. Know what AlphaSights does. The whole interview was only 5 questions - 4 that were 30 seconds long, and 1 that you had a minute to answer. You get 15 seconds to read each question before you must begin your answer.

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.
