I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Jul 2020
Interview
I submitted a resume/cover letter after being reached out to by a recruiter. I then completed the one-way video interview, which seems like almost everyone gets a chance to do. It was 4 questions and a minute to answer each after seeing the question for 15 seconds. I think it's really important to stand out here, because so many people complete this interview stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think AlphaSights does?
What do you do outside of school?
Three rounds - first round general competency, second round case study and phone call role play, third round an hour long competency and experience interview with a VP. Third round was a longer and more difficult version of first round. Second round involved one case study with access before, and the second case study was done on the spot.

Interview
Coffee chat with Alphasights recruiter
One to one interview with recruiter - regular STAR questions, ended up asking about my proficiency in a third language I spoke even though that wasn't what I was recruited for
Interview with VP(?)
3-4 stages, last stage was really unexpected a far more intense behavioural and background interview, wasn't really given any materials from the company. However HR was super helpful whenever I reached out.
