I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Hong Kong) in Mar 2015
Interview
After online application, I was invited to a Video Interview Platform where I had to use to webcam on computer to answer a total of 6 questions, with a time limit of 30 or 60 seconds for each question. I researched online and prepared for the questions that I'm expected to be asked and most of them appeared. However, I could manage myself to smile in front of the camera but I relied on the notes too much that I think it was too obvious.

I applied for the Graduate Analyst position at London. The process lasted for around 1 month from contacted by hr to interview. I went through HR screening and user interview. The interview process was okay.
Good interview, asking primarily about characteristics and personal experiences. Very self-focused, with a lot of emphasis on personality rather than technical ability. Overall interviewers in both screening and first-round interviews were nice people and polite.
