I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Hong Kong) in Apr 2026
Interview
I applied for a role in the London office via an employee referral on March 10th and received a rejection 10 days later.
Unexpectedly, on April 16th, HR from the Hong Kong office reached out stating they were interested in my profile if I was open to the HK location. After re-submitting my application, the process consisted of a behavioral questionnaire followed by a video interview. I then had a call with HR, though I noticed the questions were identical to the ones asked in the initial video screening.

Question 1
A brief self-introduction
Do you require a visa sponsorship to work in Hong Kong (??? even though they know I am a local resident)
Why did you choose to study (your degree names)
What is your greatest achievement
What does AlphaSights do and why AlphaSights
Are you applying for other roles? What are they
Do you know what the BREAD process is? Which one you don't like and why
Initial call with a recruiter to gain an insight into the role. This was followed by two subsequent calls with more senior members of staff which entailed more technical questions. A language test also had to be carried out.

Question 1
Describe a situation in which you had to work under pressure.
The interview process was three rounds. Initial screening, one on one interview, I didn't make it past the second round, but there was a final interview with team lead afterward.

Question 1
Role a play a scenario based on the case study you're given.
Stay away. Realized how much of a scam it is as I went through- ended on my own accord after final round. There will be no exit opportunities with this company whatsoever. You will be stuck. Know some friends who have worked here and regret every second of it.
