I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Feb 2022
Interview
Interview process began as usual with a 30 minute phone interview focusing on the BREAD process and basic behavioral questions. The second interview was a 1 hour role play interview (asking to look up industry professionals on LinkedIn in a stupidly easy format) and secondary 1 hour behavioral interview. I had to remind the recruiter to send me the links to the interviews an hour prior to them taking place. Scheduled for the 3rd and final interview, the recruiter messaged me the day before to switch from 9 am to 11 am. I agree, then the morning of, calls me at 8:30 am to switch the interview back to original 9 am time. Reschedules for following week, fails to send interview link once again. The lack of professionalism and organization was overwhelming and frankly getting on my nerves, so I withdrew from the interview process. Not worth it for a company that can’t even conduct interviews in a proper manner.

Question 1
Can you define the BREAD process?
How would you deal with a situation where an expert asked for further compensation to participate in a project?
Are there any other questions you wished I had asked throughout this interview?
Three rounds - first round general competency, second round case study and phone call role play, third round an hour long competency and experience interview with a VP. Third round was a longer and more difficult version of first round. Second round involved one case study with access before, and the second case study was done on the spot.

Coffee chat with Alphasights recruiter
One to one interview with recruiter - regular STAR questions, ended up asking about my proficiency in a third language I spoke even though that wasn't what I was recruited for
Interview with VP(?)
3-4 stages, last stage was really unexpected a far more intense behavioural and background interview, wasn't really given any materials from the company. However HR was super helpful whenever I reached out.
