I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Tokyo) in Apr 2022
Interview
The interview was held in both Japanese and English, and lasted for about an hour. The interviewer was friendly, and the entire process was completed under a calming atmosphere. There were multiple questions that tested a deep understanding of the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How does your knowledge on your major translate into working as a client service associate?
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.

Question 1
Describe a situation in which you had to work under pressure.
Stay away. Realized how much of a scam it is as I went through- ended on my own accord after final round. There will be no exit opportunities with this company whatsoever. You will be stuck. Know some friends who have worked here and regret every second of it.

Interview
The interview process started with a video screening through HelloMilo, where I answered questions about my background, interest in the Client Service Associate role, and why I was interested in AlphaSights. The questions were mostly behavioral and focused on communication, motivation, and understanding of the client service role.
