The first step in the interview process is an automated, self-recorded webcam interview where you are given a series of questions and have either 30 seconds or 60 seconds to respond. These questions are fairly basic but there are a few that ask about what AlphaSights does and your understanding of the company. Not much time is needed to prepare. The second round is a Google Hangout session with someone from the company, which is also mostly behavioral. I found the interview to be rather impersonal.
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.
