I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlphaSense (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Dec 2023
Interview
Extreamly slow. Basic interview questions and take home task which is basic and test nothing in the skills of the developer. Overall quite negative experiance after they ghosted me and never replied to any my emails which i sent to multiple people from HR. They did promise even negative outcome that they will email but they didnt. Unprofessional. Will keep this in mind in future postings

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for AlphaSense
Terrible communication. I had to chase down the recruiter several times. Interviews were all 30 minutes which was a very short amount of time to vibe with people, especially when interviewers are 10 minutes late.
Nice and positive atmosphere. Talked to 5 engineers and team lead. Everything from experience to the task. Covered javascript basics, frameworks that I will be working with. How far I'm in the studies.
First round was the online assessment round on HackerRank. I was asked two questions of DSA, 4 aptitude questions (MCQs) and 4 CS fundamental (MCQs). The questions were of Medium difficulty.
