I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY)
Interview
There were three rounds of interviewing, each with two different employees. The scheduling was very flexible and the interviewers were engaging, informative, and kind. The first round was mostly behavioral, the second round consisted of "project" cases and the third round was with a member of the senior leadership team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you explain to someone what AlphaSights does and who we are?
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.
