I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights
Interview
I applied through online, and the response was very fast. I was asked to do AlphaSights Video Assessment (AVA) three days after I submitted CV. They only gave 72 hours to finish AVA. After AVA, video interview was scheduled. I also get notified about the interview few days after the AVA submission. I'm waiting for Video Interview now.

Question 1
AVA : describe what AlphaSights do in your own words, which part of the job interests you, What was your first job, How have you reached decisions about your career interests
For my phone interview, the interviewer seemed impatient and did not try to engage. Just asked questions and recorded my responses. Phone interviews are difficult as is, but compared to other phone interviews I have had, this one seemed the most unfriendly. Made it difficult for me to feel comfortable throughout the short conversation we had.
After several rounds of virtual video questions that i had to submit, i went to the office and was given case exercises in linkedin search optimization + a behavior interview
