I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Seoul)
Interview
Contacted via Linked in
And then Zoom interviews
At the end of the interview I was given an opportunity to ask a question so I told what I have gotten from my market research and asked her 'despite the rising number of competitors, how did alphasights remained the global leading company in the market?' and the interviewer replied with 'well, what do you think?'
I'm pretty sure the interviewer did not know what to answer..
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Who are the clients of Alphasights?
What is the process of your role?
How do you see yourself in 5 yrs time?
HR screening, then a longer virtual interview with case study, and then I didn’t get to the next stage that would have been with a VP. The case study was take home and you discussed it in the interview
1 round completed (HR Screen → First Interview)
The interviewer was professional and serious, not particularly warm, but the structure was clear and the questions were straightforward. No ambiguity in what they were looking for.
Did not receive an offer. Overall a well-run process, just competitive. Would recommend coming in with strong situational examples and some domain knowledge even for the HR stage, it goes deeper than expected.

Question 1
The process moved quickly after the initial screening. The first interview was conducted online and covered both personal background questions and situational/behavioral scenarios. The pace was fast and the questions were fairly intensive for an HR round, more demanding than a typical culture-fit conversation.
Phone screening was good asked basic questions about strengths, weaknesses, situation, etc. The questions were fairly straightforward and the usual questions asked during a phone interview. Overall a very good experience.
