I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Mar 2022
Interview
First round is with HR - relatively easy, just asked about my background, motivations for applying, what I understand about alphasights as a company and about the role itself.
Second round is Case Study - this round was the most difficult, first part was situational questions (3 main questions) regarding what you would do as an associate in these workplace situations (remember to have client-first mentality), this part ended with a deep dive into your CV and extracurriculars. the second part was a case study, pick 2 out of 3 briefs and have to find 4 experts in a short period of time and explain why you chose those experts (remember value chains and what titles to look for), then you had to do a practice phone call with one of the experts you chose.
Last round was with VP - this round was not too difficult but speaking confidently about your motivations and drive, why you applied for the role, your background etc.
I didn't get accepted after the 3 stages, was fairly lengthy interview process (over a month) and required a lot of preparation, they provide you with sufficient material to practice and feedback calls before your final interview with which is good.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
The recruiter was pretty nice. They gave detailed questions on what will be asked in the email so it was pretty nice. A lot of behavioral questions, you have to get prepared

Question 1
What would you do if clients kept changing the scheduled time
The process in itself is very long and has about 5 interviews, although it goes quite fast. First, it was a very short phone call where I got to introduce myself and why I wanted to work at AlphaSights. 20 minutes after, I got an invitation to an interview with a recruiter which was about 1 hour. After that, I had two other interviews where I had to solve cases. Lastly, I had an interview with a VP at the company.
