I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Apr 2021
Interview
I immediately got the impression that my interviewer did not want to be there. The first interview was just a video call but I remember getting cut off at certain points. I feel like the interviewer was rushed and had already decided I was not getting the job even before I got a chance to speak. It was just a defeating process. They also wanted you to explain the BREAD model which I expected and spent days preparing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Describe the BREAD model
-Tell me about your academics
A recruiter reached out after my application on Handshake. The first round interview was behavioral - asking questions about myself, my background, why I wanted to be on Client Services as opposed to consulting. Also asked on my understanding of the role
Easy scheduling, recruiter helped with questions I had. Able to freely schedule my interviews. There was a few interviews, some short some long. Didn’t take too long to receive offer.
3 Rounds, mainly behavioral, not too hard if you prepare well and study and do calls with recruiters. Know what the BREAD process is and what AS does. Second round interview is hardest so practice before hand. Final round just a chat.
