I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Nov 2014
Interview
Same as just about what everyone said. First video interview. 5 seconds to think of a response and 30 seconds to answer. One question they give you 60 seconds. I recommend scrolling through all of the categories that people have mistakenly put under intern. Summer analyst, intern, summer analyst intern, or whatever possible combination of those words. That way you will see all of the possible questions and be fully prepared. I was fairly unprepared for a few questions and thought I preformed slightly poorly but I still got onto the next round. That makes it seem as if the video interview was just a quick way to make sure the applicant had some decent communication skills and could think a little bit on his/her feet. So don't stress the awkwardness of it too much as I imagine the google hangouts next round is more of the make it or break it part of this interview process.

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.
