I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Tokyo) in Jun 2021
Interview
The phone interview lasted for around 10 minutes.
Questions about personal information were asked in English and questions about the company were asked in Japanese.
The Japanese recruiter specifically said that I will only be doing the interview (2nd round) when she actually had a surprise language test with limited time. My friend was told prior, so I thought that was unfair.
And also, the recruiter being late to the first two interviews was disrespectful and unprofessional.
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.

Describe a situation in which you had to work under pressure.
The interview process was three rounds. Initial screening, one on one interview, I didn't make it past the second round, but there was a final interview with team lead afterward.

Question 1
Role a play a scenario based on the case study you're given.
Stay away. Realized how much of a scam it is as I went through- ended on my own accord after final round. There will be no exit opportunities with this company whatsoever. You will be stuck. Know some friends who have worked here and regret every second of it.
