I applied through university. I interviewed at Alpha Financial Markets Consulting
Interview
First Round Video Interview
Their process is slow, not many updates.
Submitted resume and then finished the video interview questions that are pre-recorded but no updates on next steps.
The questions are typical behavioural questions to gauge interest in the firm. One question asked at the end was around what you like doing for fun or hobbies but was specific.

Question 1
What qualities do you have that make you a great consultant?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alpha Financial Markets Consulting (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2021
Interview
Did 3 Rounds of Interviews:
- Hirevue
- Behavioural
- Superday - 4hr event with 3 different interviews.
Thought I did well in the Superday, a few business days later I received an offer from two different consulting firms. Communicated to Alpha that Alpha was a top choice and wanted to see if they were interested in me as a candidate. Told them that if I wasn't a good enough candidate that they should be honest with me as I had deadlines on the other offers. They never reached out to me after spending 6 hours interviewing me. Felt very scummy and low, honestly happy never got an offer, could only imagine how they treat their staff.
