J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez AlphaSights (Hong Kong) en déc. 2015
Entretien
I applied for the Hong Kong office and was invited to the final round interview after a video assessment and 2 video interviews. The interviewers were ok, some very friendly and one was very rude. (30 minutes late for the video call, promised to get back in touch within days but no response for 2 weeks)
I was intrigued by the work/culture by this company but was extremely disappointed by the HR people. The one in charge of my application was incredibly slow (not answering questions, forgetting details about my availability even after I confirmed it multiple times) and rude. I have applied in mid October and they randomly cancelled my final round interview with the Managing Director on the day it was scheduled, and despite many, many emails asking them to confirm the status of my application I still have no answer.
Interview questions are pretty straightforward, but beware- they ask you really personal (what they call "informal") questions that I think are quite pointless. ex. Why did your mom make that career decision? Why did she quit and become a housewife now? What is your brother interested in? What careers choices has he made? (like seriously, he's 16)
Conclusion: they seriously need to restructure the HR team and fire some people. They probably drive applicants away.

I applied for the Graduate Analyst position at London. The process lasted for around 1 month from contacted by hr to interview. I went through HR screening and user interview. The interview process was okay.

Entretien
The interview was conducted online and lasted around 20 minutes. It was a one-to-one video interview with a hiring manager. The questions were mainly focused on my background, previous experience, and motivation for applying to the Graduate Analyst position. They also asked about my expected salary and availability. The atmosphere was professional but friendly, and the interview followed a structured format.
Good interview, asking primarily about characteristics and personal experiences. Very self-focused, with a lot of emphasis on personality rather than technical ability. Overall interviewers in both screening and first-round interviews were nice people and polite.
