AlphaSights People Operations interview questions

Phone interview, in person interview with two associates, another in person interview with two more associates. Asked to submit a case study as well which I thought was ridiculous for a people operations position. It was almost eight pages long and took hours and wasn't even offered a position even though they said how impressed they were. One group admitted they hadn't even looked at it and asked me to walk them through it. Seemed very unorganized and they didn't know what they wanted from a candidate. It wasn't conversational at all- more of a Q & A from inexperienced interviewers with awkward silence while they wrote down my answers.

Two phone calls, two in person. The first interview went great, I loved the conversation, the second phone call seemed fairly irrelevant and unnecessary as very few questions were asked and it seemed like they were reaching out as a filler for time/follow up. The first in person was great, I liked meeting everyone and learning about the company and met one of the two hiring managers. I got called in the second time to meet with a high-level exec who when I got there was "not in the office"... when hilariously enough, I looked up the person via LinkedIn and knew what he looked like and he actually passed me in the office. Strange. Anyway, even though I had great conversations, it didn't sound like they knew what they wanted to hire for within POps. There are a myriad of groups in POps and I think they need to figure out how they want to grow and interview that way.
