I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Jul 2020
Interview
Very straightforward but didn't feel much like a conversation. Seemed like the interview had a set of questions as the interview had little dialogue. First-round was one-way video, second is a Zoom with recruiter, third (case study) with manager and VP, fourth- round with VP.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why AlphaSights?
What is the BREAD Process?
Explain your background?
What is understanding of the role?
I only attended the first interview. The HR manager was neither friendly nor unfriendly. It was just a normal screening interview. Only self-introduction and motivation for application were conducted in English, and the rest were conducted in Korean. The HR manager asked questions focusing on my background and history rather than understanding the job itself.
First round all behavioral. Mostly talking about previous experiences, how it applies to AlphaSights, and why AlphaSights is a fit role. Wasn't difficult, but unfortunately did don't get selected for some reason even though I thought it went very well.
Initial call with a recruiter to gain an insight into the role. This was followed by two subsequent calls with more senior members of staff which entailed more technical questions. A language test also had to be carried out.
