I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSense (Indianapolis, IN) in Jan 2024
Interview
It was smooth and great process for everyone. I recommend for anyone any time to prepare very well for it. It was smooth and great process for everyone. I recommend for anyone any time to prepare very well for it
It was a distasteful experience being interviewed by this Head of Sales who gave off the vibe that he already predetermined that I wasn't his ideal profile even before the call started.
During the last part where I could ask questions, he started looking disengaged at giving proper answers and instead answered incoherently or deflect my questions back to me asking me to answer my own questions when I wanted to understand more about the business.
This shows he gives little respect to a sincere candidate who was genuinely interested in joining the company.
It was disappointing to be already feeling rejected during the interview itself and to know that opportunity just blew off since the thought of having to work around him just put me off.
It's a shame as I felt I could really work well with the direct manager of this role and perhaps other AEs under this guy whom I probably won't need to deal with that extensively day in day out.
