I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
I received a message from a recruiter through my university's campus careers website asking me to apply for the associate program. I applied through the provided link and received an email on setting up an online Google Hangouts interview. Before the interview, they ask you to watch a provided video on the company's model and prepare to talk about pre-set talking points for the interview (such as your background, your understanding of the position, and why you're applying). The interview was about 45 minutes and the interviewer was neutral (neither interested nor disinterested). Didn't get past the online interview.

What is a private equity firm?
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
