I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Apr 2020
Interview
The process was tedious and drawn out over the course of two months. Four interviews, multiple different employees hopping on the call throughout the interviews. The first interview is 45 minutes with a recruiter who asks general questions regarding your previous work experience. The second interview was a 15-minute case study with a manager, answer 2 out of 3 prompts. After the 15-minutes, you review your answers with the manager and go over the BREAD process in depth. The third interview is a 10-minute roleplay scenario with a Vice President in which you act as the Associate and he is an expert you are vetting on behalf of a client. When that concludes, the behavioral interviews starts and the VP vets your qualifications for the role. The final interview was with another VP and lasted about an hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you received constructive criticism
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
