The first step of the interview is just four easy questions and they are pretty straight forward. Before you record your one-way interview, there will be a practice section you calm you down. The overall process is not hard.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Hong Kong) in Jun 2016
Interview
Really disrespectful interviewer. Asked me what "drives" me, and when I answered "Getting the task done, and the feeling that I have achieved something," the interviewer (two of them) said, "no, not something like that, but rather - is it the bonus scheme, or competition with your colleagues, or being recognized..." and on and on. Immediately I felt that the interviewers were not only immature and inexperienced, but also that such kind of HR employees should be really reviewed by their company.
