I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Mar 2025
Interview
Nice, pretty average. She was late to get on the call which felt odd. Wasn't super friendly but not rude. (Kind of made me feel like a child). Asked normal questions.

Question 1
What does AlphaSights do? (Strange considering you would think they'd explain this first)
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.

Why client service rather than consulting, and what is the difference

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.
