I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Jun 2018
Interview
This was the first round interview conducted virtually. I was a little shocked to get it, as I was a little caught off guard during the video questions that I answered on my own. I prepared in advance by understanding the role and the company's work, but I did get the feeling that the interview was not going great just because I was just not a good fit for the role. Their work seems to involve research, desk work, and objective precision, whereas I prefer vibrant, flexible, and more creative tasks. The people I interviewed with were nice, but the questions were sometimes aloof and difficult to engage with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Role play as if you're doing customer service. Scenario involved an unhappy customer of an online cosmetic product.
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.
