overall, it was a normal interview, except it occurred through an online video recording platform. I have never had. video recording interview before,and it did feel slightly impersonal uk. overall I dont know if I would recruit people through this platform. I love alphasights and I hope to work there one day
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Nov 2012
Interview
Had 3 short interviews in one day.
1st one - Was asked what I thought Alphasights do. (I would advise doing your research and understanding exactly what it is they do and who their competitors are). Went over my CV and history.
Was asked if I had any questions (always have questions, if you don't that's practically an automatic fail, especially given the nature of the role)
2nd one - Different person. Went over my CV. Asked another 2 questions.
3rd one (got called to come back 5 minutes after leaving the office) - Vice President interview. Went over the role and my understanding, another 2 questions.
4th one (3 months after being an intern and promoted to analyst) - 90minute sit down with the MD about his vision, my background and my ambitions.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
Applied through their site and the process took about 2 weeks. Got an email and did the online interview. Six questions, same as what the other people mentioned. I thought i did well but I didn't advance to the next round. Perhaps they have a preference for undergraduates (I am a masters student at Stanford)
