I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Oct 2022
Interview
The first round was a very positive experience. It was more like a conversation. The second round was more demanding. It consisted of a case study and situational questions. Still, it was very well-thought-out and gave me an idea of what my role would be. They emailed me materials beforehand that really helped me prepare for it. The third round was a disaster. The interviewer didn’t pay attention to the interview, was doing multiple things at a time, kept muting themselves to talk to someone else, and walking around the room with the laptop. It was unprofessional, distracting, and discouraging. The person had no idea about what the previous rounds looked like and it was their first time seeing my interview.

Interview process was ok, several stages and language test as it was a particular language speaking role, only downside really was very little feedback given at the end when not successful. When I asked for a feedback call as to why I wasn’t successful they didn’t answer my question and it was a 2 mins call saying that I was just unsuccessful.
