I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Seoul) in Sep 2024
Interview
1st Round Interview (Video)
The interviewer was very warm and friendly. The interview was conducted in both languages. In the first round, the questions were fairly general, focusing on professional and academic work experience. While the questions are broad, it’s important to be prepared to explain what you learned from those experiences—being logical and reflective in your answers seems key. I believe they are looking for candidates who can self-reflect and demonstrate growth.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Background-Related Questions: Academic and Professional Experience, Work Fit, Long-Term Career Growth etc.
3-4 stages, last stage was really unexpected a far more intense behavioural and background interview, wasn't really given any materials from the company. However HR was super helpful whenever I reached out.
the first ai round was really easy. then the actaully first round was also Pretty easy first round. Asks you the basic questions. tell me about urself, what do you do at school etc.
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.
