I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
It was a 3 stage interview with the second being a project and the 3 being with one of the managers. Overall pretty structured but interviewing with the managers felt like they had better things to do than to talk to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work at Alphasights? Typical questions like that.
HR screening, then a longer virtual interview with case study, and then I didn’t get to the next stage that would have been with a VP. The case study was take home and you discussed it in the interview
1 round completed (HR Screen → First Interview)
The interviewer was professional and serious, not particularly warm, but the structure was clear and the questions were straightforward. No ambiguity in what they were looking for.
Did not receive an offer. Overall a well-run process, just competitive. Would recommend coming in with strong situational examples and some domain knowledge even for the HR stage, it goes deeper than expected.

Question 1
The process moved quickly after the initial screening. The first interview was conducted online and covered both personal background questions and situational/behavioral scenarios. The pace was fast and the questions were fairly intensive for an HR round, more demanding than a typical culture-fit conversation.
Phone screening was good asked basic questions about strengths, weaknesses, situation, etc. The questions were fairly straightforward and the usual questions asked during a phone interview. Overall a very good experience.
