I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Sep 2025
Interview
I had a mutual who worked there and connected me to the recruiter, super easy behavioral first round, and then an hour-long second round with a live case study. The interviewer was pretty rude -- cut me off in the middle of me explaining my work experience (I was only talking for under a minute) and told me that was enough. Then, in the case study, she was extremely judgmental about everything I answered (I know their job is literally to judge you as a candidate, but she was extremely condescending and unfriendly).
Initial call with a recruiter to gain an insight into the role. This was followed by two subsequent calls with more senior members of staff which entailed more technical questions. A language test also had to be carried out.

Question 1
Describe a situation in which you had to work under pressure.
The interview process was three rounds. Initial screening, one on one interview, I didn't make it past the second round, but there was a final interview with team lead afterward.

Question 1
Role a play a scenario based on the case study you're given.
Stay away. Realized how much of a scam it is as I went through- ended on my own accord after final round. There will be no exit opportunities with this company whatsoever. You will be stuck. Know some friends who have worked here and regret every second of it.
