Application
I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Apr 2026
Interview
I’d be cautious about interviewing with this firm, as the process felt disorganized and inefficient. It also seemed like they may be interviewing candidates just to meet internal quotas, particularly for the associate role, which appears heavily quota-driven. Their outreach was overly aggressive, including repeated emails and texts to my personal number. I completed both required assessments, a short survey and an AI interview, but after finishing the 30-minute AI interview and being told it was successfully submitted, HR later claimed they never received it and suggested I might need to re-record it. I did however complete a first round which was fine. It was mostly behavioral nothing too difficult.

The interview process started with a video screening through HelloMilo, where I answered questions about my background, interest in the Client Service Associate role, and why I was interested in AlphaSights. The questions were mostly behavioral and focused on communication, motivation, and understanding of the client service role.

Question 1
Why are you interested in the Client Service Associate role at AlphaSights?
competency based calls, situational with a mock scenario and final round where youre interviewed by the vice president . while you may have applied for the client services role they may propose you to move to the research team
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.
