I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Mar 2023
Interview
Interview process was not bad at all. Four rounds with a case on the third round but was pretty self explanatory. The last round was an hour behavioral which caught me off guard a little bit but other than that it was fine.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to overcome a failure and what did you learn from it
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.
