I went through 2 rounds of interviews before deciding myself not to move on after the second. The first one was a standard behavioral one, recorded before a screen (might've changed due to the pandemic). The second one consisted of two parts: the first a role play, where I was assigned a case and asked to look for industry experts to answer a question for a made-up client, the second a standard behavioral interview.

Question 1
Can you find three industry experts in X industry?
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Dec 2014
Interview
I went through the online application process in mid December and was invited to the Hangouts portion of the interview (round 3? Or 2). When I went to sign up for an interview slot the earliest available slot was in the third week of February - a ridiculous amount of time between the two steps obviously.
However I waited until February. When I tried to enter the Hangouts session on that day, I found that the session had been closed (made at one point and then deleted). I informed alphasights recruiting through their normal email address and also emailed two recruiters as well as interviewer. Nobody replied back. I didn't get an explanation, I didn't get a reschedule, nothing. Of course I should have checked up on the status of my application in between December and February - that's parts on me. But why couldn't Alphasights be professional and communicate with me?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY)
Interview
I was interviewed via a webcam sevice online, was asked 4 questions with 60 seconds to respond to each one. I found Alphasights through Glassdoor after researching the Coleman Research Group on my university's career search tool.
