Interview
I applied through University Career website. First stage is a short 200 word motivation question. After this, you get invited to perform an online interview, with four written questions regarding your background, for which there is no time limit, and four video questions, 60 seconds each except one which is 30 seconds, regarding AlphaSights and personal questions, such as what is the book you are currently reading. If you pass this phase, you get invited to their London office. I had a very pleasant conversation with somebody from HR. I thought the interview went quite well, however a couple of days later I received a rejection email. No feedback though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think the risks are for a business like AlphaSights?

Interview
First round interview involved an automated interview process. Questions appeared on the screen, and you had 15 - 60 seconds to record an answer. Most of the questions were about AlphaSights itself, regarding their background and how it relates to what you are looking for in a job. Unclear how much weight they give to these responses.

Interview
There were some aptitude tests to take and also a video recording interview. Talking to camera was a little unnerving, especially since you only have 5 seconds to think for an answer. Just read the other reviews here and be prepared to succinctly answer every question on here.
A lot of steps to the interview process; CV, Video Interview, Connect Day, Interview. A lot of questions asked at the interview were not related to the job role per se but were about why I had made certain choices e.g. to study a particular degree topic, to go to a particular University over another. A great deal of time was spent answering these irrelevant questions rather than assessing key competencies or knowledge of the firm and role.
