I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Sep 2017
Interview
First round was the AVA - where they asked you 4 questions (can find all questions on glassdoor), I had issue with mine so I had to do a phone screening with them instead. But this is the same process, they'll ask you 4 questions.
Second round was with an HR representative. This round was all behavioral, but it was a little bit distracting that she was writing while I was speaking, it just felt like she wasn't paying complete attention.
Third round was on-site, it was 2 1-hour interview. This is where you'll do the case study - they'll give you 3 cases, you'll have to choose 2 cases and find 2 advisors for each (4 in total). After the case study, you'll be doing 1 mock call to the advisor and 1 mock call to the client. This really won't be any case interview that you've done and there really isn't a way for you to prepare for it. They expect you to know people's titles within the company, which I thought was a little unreasonable, they also expect you to know how much they pay for the advisors and how much they charge the clients.
Overall, I'm not really disappointed in not getting the job because it is very much a salesperson job. You have a quota you're supposed to meet every month and you're essentially help sell AlphaSights' services.
The management consulting interview process typically involves multiple rounds, starting with screening calls, followed by case studies, and behavioral interviews, focusing on problem-solving skills, analytical ability, and cultural fit. It was more on the behavioural and cultural fit as opposed to the technical aspects.
Behavioral-based interview that is quite common among other firms. Really know why you want to be a part of the firm. Gave a video to watch and asked questions regarding that as well.
There are 3 rounds of interviews, 2 behavioral, 1 "case". First two rounds are easy but last round was an hour long of only behavioral questions. Overall not too bad but just very long
