Interview
I applied online through a recruiter. A day later the recruiter contacted me and asked me to go through the online interview process. I had to answer four questions that were recorded, after reviewing the recruiter called me himself and we spoke for about 20 minutes. I was living abroad at the time, so we then set up a Skype interview. Once I returned Stateside, I had two in person interviews on the first day - both interviews were held with two people from the office.
I was asked to come back the following week for two more interviews and was asked to complete a case exercise which I then presented during the first interview of the second session. Then I spoke with the director of the New York Office.
I had an interview scheduled for the next morning, however that night I was told that they were not asking me to come in for the final round interview. The reason the recruiter gave was very ambiguous and a bit insulting - suggesting I didn't know what the company did. I emailed the director and spoke with him about the decision, they were very cordial about it, however I felt somewhat slighted.

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.
