Good. Very friendly. They knew how nervous candidates tend to be and so they would do lots of small talks to calm you down. Overall, it was a nice experience. The HR staff genuinely wants to know you and see whether your character actually aligns with their business expectations. Know why you want to apply and how you are going to grow are very important.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Alphasights? What are your career goals? What are your short term and long term goal?
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.

Question 1
Why client service rather than consulting, and what is the difference
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights
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.
