Interview process was ok, several stages and language test as it was a particular language speaking role, only downside really was very little feedback given at the end when not successful. When I asked for a feedback call as to why I wasn’t successful they didn’t answer my question and it was a 2 mins call saying that I was just unsuccessful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Competency based questions, language test including interview and conversational skills.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Nov 2016
Interview
The first part of the interview process was to complete an online video assessment. For the video assessment, a question would appear on the screen for about 15 seconds and then I had 1 minute to answer each question. There were four or five questions. I was asked questions along the lines of: 1) Why AlphaSights? 2) What does AlphaSights do? 3) Why would you be a good addition to the firm? 4) What other positions are you applying to and how do they compare to AlphaSights?
After this I had a Skype interview that lasted about 30 minutes. In this interview they're interested in learning about your background and how it reflects who you are and what you'd like to achieve (Why your college? Why your major? Why AlphaSights? etc.), your understanding of what you'd be doing at AlphaSights as an Associate and why this is of interest to you, how the career path at AlphaSights evolves over time, and why you are pursuing this opportunity and how it fits with your career path. Also more generally, questions included: Are you good at working on a team and why? What is an example of where you worked on a team and took on a leadership position? What are your weaknesses when working on a team? What made you interested in AlphaSights? What do you see yourself doing in the next 5-10 years? What is the value-add of what AlphaSights does?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Tokyo)

The interview process was really quick and straightforward. Within 2 weeks the full interview process was completed. There was a lot of guidance throughout the process and clear expectations management.
