I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in May 2024
Interview
It was a behavioural assessment interview. It is in English no matter if your role is an associate of another language. There were a lot of typical behavioral questions of previous experiences
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
... a time where you have shown leadership
... something that motivates you
Describe yourself with three words etc
Three rounds - first round general competency, second round case study and phone call role play, third round an hour long competency and experience interview with a VP. Third round was a longer and more difficult version of first round. Second round involved one case study with access before, and the second case study was done on the spot.

Interview
Coffee chat with Alphasights recruiter
One to one interview with recruiter - regular STAR questions, ended up asking about my proficiency in a third language I spoke even though that wasn't what I was recruited for
Interview with VP(?)
3-4 stages, last stage was really unexpected a far more intense behavioural and background interview, wasn't really given any materials from the company. However HR was super helpful whenever I reached out.
