I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Feb 2024
Interview
Very well defined and laid out with the information they give you. Personable recruiters that do a good job of getting you through the process. Some tough questions that they will dig into.

Question 1
What was the hardest thing you have dealt with in... ?
HR screening, then a longer virtual interview with case study, and then I didn’t get to the next stage that would have been with a VP. The case study was take home and you discussed it in the interview
1 round completed (HR Screen → First Interview)
The interviewer was professional and serious, not particularly warm, but the structure was clear and the questions were straightforward. No ambiguity in what they were looking for.
Did not receive an offer. Overall a well-run process, just competitive. Would recommend coming in with strong situational examples and some domain knowledge even for the HR stage, it goes deeper than expected.

Question 1
The process moved quickly after the initial screening. The first interview was conducted online and covered both personal background questions and situational/behavioral scenarios. The pace was fast and the questions were fairly intensive for an HR round, more demanding than a typical culture-fit conversation.
Phone screening was good asked basic questions about strengths, weaknesses, situation, etc. The questions were fairly straightforward and the usual questions asked during a phone interview. Overall a very good experience.
