The whole process took about a month. They were very efficient and transparent throughout the entire process. First round is a 20-30 minute phone call; mainly questions to make sure you did your homework and understand what AlphaSights is and what you would be doing in the role. Interviewer was very robotic and cold. Second round is an hour long with a manager. I had to do a case study ahead of time. They wanted to make sure I understood value chains and could implement the feedback given to me. After going over the case study, I was then shown a similar question and asked to walk through my thought process. I then did a mock call where the manager pretended to be an expert I was calling. Key is to give a quick pitch on AlphaSights, explain why this connection would be mutually beneficial, and find their availability all while staying professional. I enjoyed this interview much more than the first one. The third and final round was with a senior VP and it was an hour of behavioral questions, sort of drilling me and diving deep into my resume. They never took longer than 3 days to get back to me about moving forward which was great and I really appreciated how quickly it moved.

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.
