I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Dec 2016
Interview
Online application where you upload CV and fill in basic information, followed by 3 questions with a 200 word limit and 4 digital interview questions. You get 15 secs to prepare for the question and then 1 minute to answer. Questions were: What does AlphaSights do? Why AlphaSights? What are the skills you will learn at AlphaSights? What else have you applied for and how are they different to AlphaSights? You then get invited to a face-to-face office interview where you spend 1hr with a member of HR.

Interview process was ok, several stages and language test as it was a particular language speaking role, only downside really was very little feedback given at the end when not successful. When I asked for a feedback call as to why I wasn’t successful they didn’t answer my question and it was a 2 mins call saying that I was just unsuccessful.
