I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSense (New Delhi) in Mar 2023
Interview
Interview process is pathetic. HR will ghost you for no reason. They will take your interview and then will never contact you back. No matter how many emails, calls or messages you do to HR, You will never get the reply back. Dont waste your time and effort in this company

Question 1
Knowledge/ domain checking questions Real time scenario based questions
Terrible communication. I had to chase down the recruiter several times. Interviews were all 30 minutes which was a very short amount of time to vibe with people, especially when interviewers are 10 minutes late.
Nice and positive atmosphere. Talked to 5 engineers and team lead. Everything from experience to the task. Covered javascript basics, frameworks that I will be working with. How far I'm in the studies.
First round was the online assessment round on HackerRank. I was asked two questions of DSA, 4 aptitude questions (MCQs) and 4 CS fundamental (MCQs). The questions were of Medium difficulty.
