I interviewed at AlphaSights (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Jan 2022
Interview
Such a bad experience. The interviewer was very pretentious, although she didn’t have any logic when conducting her interview.
Also it’s unlikely to grow a lot in this company because it’s not a proper consulting company. I don’t think it will have good future since no the information are become more transparent and people know how to use LinkedIn (yes, they basically just LinkedIn and make phone call as their work, like sales.) but they will try to sale themselves as a consultant in company to you .

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

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. why I want to move my job
2. what's my long-term goal
Interview process was ok, several stages and language test as it was a particular language speaking role, only downside really was very little feedback given at the end when not successful. When I asked for a feedback call as to why I wasn’t successful they didn’t answer my question and it was a 2 mins call saying that I was just unsuccessful.
