I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
Applied online and heard back relatively fast. Did a video interview through a program where I was recorded. This made the interview a bit awkward as I was just sort of talking instead of actually interacting with an employer. I understand that this is a quick and easy way for AlphaSights to avoid wasting time, but found it showed more laziness on their part to not speak with candidates in person, on the phone, or via Skype.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. A simple question, but when you are talking to a recording and not a person it becomes naturally awkward.
