I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
First stage is a very quick screening call where they basically confirm that you understand what the company does and what the role is about. The first round of interviews felt quite rushed, but was very friendly and well structured. The interviewer was based in San Francisco and was interviewing me at 7:00am her local time, which was very odd. The setup was also unusual as she was apparently watching me on a big screen on the other side of the room, so it looked like she was talking to the walls rather than me because she wasn't looking at the camera. At the end of the interview I asked for some feedback that she refused to give. I was left with a feeling that I did well in the interview, but received a generic rejection email three days later.
Initial call with a recruiter to gain an insight into the role. This was followed by two subsequent calls with more senior members of staff which entailed more technical questions. A language test also had to be carried out.

The interview process was three rounds. Initial screening, one on one interview, I didn't make it past the second round, but there was a final interview with team lead afterward.

Question 1
Role a play a scenario based on the case study you're given.
Stay away. Realized how much of a scam it is as I went through- ended on my own accord after final round. There will be no exit opportunities with this company whatsoever. You will be stuck. Know some friends who have worked here and regret every second of it.
