I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Jan 2015
Interview
The first round was a virtual prompted interview with about 7-10 questions and a given amount of time to respond (i.e.: 30 or 60 seconds). It was a bit awkward but actually a lot easier than being in person. The next round was a Skype interview with a recruiter. Although she asked tough questions, she made me feel at ease during the hour. The final round was at their offices. They give you an assignment to complete beforehand and then you have to present it. You are also expected to do a mini activity on-site that is comparable to the type of work you would be doing on a daily basis.

Question 1
What was the most challenging thing you had to do?
30min interview fairly relaxed. Mainly behavioural questions and talking about yourself. 1 question at the end about what you understand the company to do. The interviewer was friendly and helpful. It is optional whether to have your camera on or not.
