I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Apr 2021
Interview
I immediately got the impression that my interviewer did not want to be there. The first interview was just a video call but I remember getting cut off at certain points. I feel like the interviewer was rushed and had already decided I was not getting the job even before I got a chance to speak. It was just a defeating process. They also wanted you to explain the BREAD model which I expected and spent days preparing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Describe the BREAD model
-Tell me about your academics
Overall, pretty standard interview, with a good set of behavioral questions (Tell me about yourself, tell me a time of when you demonstrated leadership, etc.). Make sure to know:
- Why AlphaSights?
- The BREAD process
- Case Studies (in which you basically find the best industry expert for a particular situation)
A 30-45 minute video call. Questions were not too difficult but the interviewer was a but rigid and our conversation did not really flow. The questions were not too difficult.
