I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights in July 2020
Interview
I submitted a resume/cover letter after being reached out to by a recruiter. I then completed the one-way video interview, which seems like almost everyone gets a chance to do. It was 4 questions and a minute to answer each after seeing the question for 15 seconds. I think it's really important to stand out here, because so many people complete this interview stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think AlphaSights does?
What do you do outside of school?
the first ai round was really easy. then the actaully first round was also Pretty easy first round. Asks you the basic questions. tell me about urself, what do you do at school etc.
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.
