I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Nov 2017
Interview
Brief initial interview in very casual setting. Second structured interview then a case study, which they send to you before the interview. I did both of these over Skype. There was about a week's time in between the two interviews.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Tokyo) in Mar 2024
Interview
A 15 mins phone interview was conducted after the first screening of CV and motivation letter. The HR was nice , but the interview process was intense, so better prepared in advance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Motivation to apply for the internship, current status, etc.
I applied through university. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Apr 2022
Interview
Had a campus virtual one-on-one with a recruiter. She was very pushy and aggressive with standardized answers to all of my questions. Felt not genuine and superficial. Vague responses to details of the role including day-to-day, skills incurred, networking, opportunities, etc.
