I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Jul 2024
Interview
A very direct, straight-to-the-point interview process with minimal waiting time between interview stages, along with an opportunity to speak with various associates of various positions who work at the London office. Very welcoming interviewers who are genuinely curious to learn about the abilities and assets that you can offer to the company.

Initial call with a recruiter to gain an insight into the role. This was followed by two subsequent calls with more senior members of staff which entailed more technical questions. A language test also had to be carried out.

Question 1
Describe a situation in which you had to work under pressure.
The interview process was three rounds. Initial screening, one on one interview, I didn't make it past the second round, but there was a final interview with team lead afterward.

Question 1
Role a play a scenario based on the case study you're given.
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.
