I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Apr 2021
Interview
Starting with a phone interview with recruiter, then with hiring manager. Afterwards had an interview with the VP of data science. This lead to a technical assessment take home. I felt very confident about my solution and the approach I went with and was invited to final round which was about 4-5 hours and consisted of live coding, overview of my solution, and final behavioral interview. I had some minor hiccups in the coding part but overall felt that I did very well. Was quite surprised did not move forward.

Interview
First had an HR screening. Got asked about what my day-to-day was like, what were projects i had worked on that I felt proud of. After that they sent me a takehome assignment, which was basically to develop an advanced search api with varying criteria. They only sent two CSVs: restaurants and cuisines. I had to build a search endpoint to return five restaurants considering: distance, rating, price, cuisine. I was able to complete the challenge in time, but got no feedback as to why I didnt pass to the next round.

Question 1
Share projects that you worked before that you felt proud of.
Long process -
1st stage - recruiter
2nd stage - tech test which is calling api and mapping onto flights/rotations. Clicking a flight will add into rotations and vice versa. final stage - 3.5hrs, which include interviews with different people and another tech test - 2nd one was on closures. Waste of time and effort with no feedback at all. Avoid it.
