I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
Phone screen, case interview, behavioural interview with director. Definitely recommend going to info session about first-round interview, it helps a lot. Be ok with making mistakes in the case study and taking in feedback. Overall, very good experience with people excited about getting to know you.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through your CV. How did you manage multiple priorities
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.
