1 round completed (HR Screen → First Interview)
The interviewer was professional and serious, not particularly warm, but the structure was clear and the questions were straightforward. No ambiguity in what they were looking for.
Did not receive an offer. Overall a well-run process, just competitive. Would recommend coming in with strong situational examples and some domain knowledge even for the HR stage, it goes deeper than expected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The process moved quickly after the initial screening. The first interview was conducted online and covered both personal background questions and situational/behavioral scenarios. The pace was fast and the questions were fairly intensive for an HR round, more demanding than a typical culture-fit conversation.
I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was fairly difficult and the interviewer probed and asked several follow up questions for all of my answers. They also asked a lot about research methodology and screening questions which was challenging.
