I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Jul 2025
Interview
1st round was a behavioral background check with the HR (30 mins)
2nd round they will send you a take home project brief where a client is asking for specific knowledge area in an industry and you have to find two experts on linkedin. During the interview, you have to explain your thought process and do a mock call with a new project brief in real time.
3rd round is about 40-50 mins with a senior manager where you will explain your motivation and you will discuss fit for the company and role.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
Initial interview screen, basic questions about resume and why you want to go into the field and this type of job, how resume and past experience transfers. Not very hard but not very exciting.
