I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Alpha Recon (Colorado Springs, CO) in Feb 2022
Interview
The interview process was incredibly streamlined, the team were responsive, and very upfront about communicating expectations. I really appreciated that upfront honesty about equity incentives, as well as the clear outlining of future compensation to come, as the company continue to scale more revenue. The gentlemen that interviewed me were incredibly transparent, and very welcoming. The interview consisted of really specific questions, some of which were challenging, but thought-provoking nonetheless. It seemed like a great way to screen for a special type of analyst that would be a great fit for building a new and innovative product without needing micromanagement like most people need.
