I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Pretty straightforward. One video screen. And two skype interviews. I did not make it past the second skype interview. The first interview went great and the second one the person interviewing me seemed very uninterested.
The management consulting interview process typically involves multiple rounds, starting with screening calls, followed by case studies, and behavioral interviews, focusing on problem-solving skills, analytical ability, and cultural fit. It was more on the behavioural and cultural fit as opposed to the technical aspects.
Behavioral-based interview that is quite common among other firms. Really know why you want to be a part of the firm. Gave a video to watch and asked questions regarding that as well.
There are 3 rounds of interviews, 2 behavioral, 1 "case". First two rounds are easy but last round was an hour long of only behavioral questions. Overall not too bad but just very long
