I applied through 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.

After an AI screening interview the first round of interview is with a senior recruiter that takes about 30 minutes. Many behavioral questions that feels very fast paced. Mostly focusing on your college experiences like classes you took and enjoyed or why you choose your college and major specifically.
