I went through 2 rounds of interviews before deciding myself not to move on after the second. The first one was a standard behavioral one, recorded before a screen (might've changed due to the pandemic). The second one consisted of two parts: the first a role play, where I was assigned a case and asked to look for industry experts to answer a question for a made-up client, the second a standard behavioral interview.

Question 1
Can you find three industry experts in X industry?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
So far the process has taken about two weeks. Initially, I received an e-mail telling me they liked my resume, and wanted to interview me through their video interview system. The system is quite strange as there is no one on the other end to talk to. They are just recording your responses. They give you a range of 30 seconds to a minute and 30 seconds to answer up to 7 or 8 basic questions. Make sure you are ready to answer the questions quickly because the timer starts quick. I got an email the following week asking me to an interview via google hangouts. I plan on doing that next week.
I applied through university. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY)
