I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
After my initial application on the website, I received an email with links to videos and reading material on the company. No other company I have applied to has done that. The first interview was a video recording. It is an incredibly efficient way to assess candidates. You had 5 seconds to read and prepare, 30 seconds to respond. For the second google hangout interview I was asked to prepare responses to certain questions. My interviewer was thorough and professional. She was well spoken, asked meaningful questions and dug into details about past work experiences.
I went through 2 rounds of interviews before deciding myself not to move on after the second. The first one was a standard behavioral one, recorded before a screen (might've changed due to the pandemic). The second one consisted of two parts: the first a role play, where I was assigned a case and asked to look for industry experts to answer a question for a made-up client, the second a standard behavioral interview.
