I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
Applied through school's career services and was invited to take a recorded video interview via webcam. The interview was done by a 3rd party called TakeTheInterview and consisted of 6 questions each of which there was about 1 minutes to 1 and a half minutes to answer.
Questions:
1)in your own words describe what alphasights does.
2)why did you choose your school?
