The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
They asked me rapid-fire questions and they expected me to stay focused and keep up. They asked me information about my professional and extracurricular experiences. One thing that is important is to know your story and know your resume well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your time at your university outside of the classroom
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.
Initial call with a recruiter to gain an insight into the role. This was followed by two subsequent calls with more senior members of staff which entailed more technical questions. A language test also had to be carried out.
