I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Hamburg) in Jan 2026
Interview
Very long process with repetitive questions, time-demanding, including case study that needs to be prepared in advance and then the additional one that you get on the spot. Motivation is key.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Tokyo)
Interview
It was a very smooth and amazing interview. They were very kind and also catches important points that you say to them. Definitely asks interesting questions and overall an amazing interview process
The interview process was really quick and straightforward. Within 2 weeks the full interview process was completed. There was a lot of guidance throughout the process and clear expectations management.
Good so far but the case study requiring you to already do the work for them, not ideal as while I am in agreement when it comes to testing skills however I did think it was too much given also the fact that I am also in another job.
