I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Aug 2020
Interview
I had heard from friends that this job was "so easy a high schooler could do it," so I did not think that this would be such a strenuous process. Yes, the interview was very straightforward, but I was a bit annoyed that there were five or six interviews of the course of a few months. All of the interviews, excluding the "case study," were almost exactly the same. Couldn't everybody just communicate my answers to the onboarding team instead of making me repeat myself so many times?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How would you explain AlphaSights and this role to someone who doesn't know what it is?
2. Why would you be good at this job?
3. What extracurriculars were you involved in in college and how do they relate to this position?
Easy and transparent with steps and timeline. Took about 2 weeks from start to offer but flexible with timing of interviews, you make times mostly, with final round as exception
I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
good, did the digital screen and got selected for next round, hoping that goes well. in the screen they asked some questions about client facing role, time i faced a diffculty etc
questions about resume and applicability to the role, also asked what other roles i’m recruiting for. didn’t get a second interview but i wasn’t too enthusiastic —- wish I’d rehearsed my answers to why Alphasights before
