Interview
The interview process at AlphaSights was simple but long. Everyone was very helpful and considerate throughout, and they loved sharing their experiences at the company. It was conducted in four rounds. The first round was a 15-minute screening with HR. The second round was a 30-minute behavioral interview where they asked basic questions like “Why AlphaSights?” and “What do you know about this company?” Make sure you read and learn everything in the interview guide.
The third round was a 1-hour case interview with a manager. It started with a take-home case study, which I had to go over in the first part of the interview. After that, there was a similar on-the-spot case study where they tried to understand my thought process and how well I could break down complex information into simple words. The manager was very friendly and gave feedback throughout. Then came the role-play, where I had to act as an associate and convince a hypothetical expert to talk to my client. The final round was with an SVP. It was a simple and straightforward conversation about how my experiences aligned with what they were looking for and what motivated me to pursue this career. Overall, if you are a good people person and do enough research about the industry your case study is on, you will do great. Also make sure to go through the website and make yourself very familiar with the business model. Good luck!

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.

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.
