I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Jul 2021
Interview
I had the interview during their Insight Days. Questions about myself, my skills. During the Insight Days, we talked to a range of employees working in different areas if the business. We got to learn about the company and what they do in detail. Lots of professional development. During the interview, you are asked to do a mock call with an expert (which is played by your interviewer). I had a good experience with the interviewer, very calming and helpful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mock cold-call with an expert. You are asked to contact an expert in an industry which you never contacted before. You are the first point of contact.
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.
