I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSense (Helsinki, Southern Finland)
Interview
I recently had one of the most disappointing experiences of my career during an interview with this company. Despite the HR confirming the date and time of the interview, no one from Alphasense showed up for the scheduled interview over Google Meet. To make matters worse, the next day, instead of receiving an apology or an explanation for the no-show, I received an email stating that they were not moving forward with my application for the role.

This experience has left a negative impression of Alphasense on me. I don't feel inclined to apply for any future openings with the company.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSense in Jun 2025
Interview
There were three stages:
1. Initial call with HR to discuss the role and background.
2. Technical interview with the hiring manager focused on past experience, challenges, and problem-solving.
3. Take-home assignment with a 2-week deadline.
Unfortunately, I received no response for nearly 3 weeks after submission. Only after a follow-up email did I get a vague rejection with no feedback. It’s disappointing to invest significant time and effort and not even receive constructive input in return.

Interview
Pathetic interview experience. Firstly a python guy that too having less years of experience than yours (very junior) will take your java interview. And he having knowledge of only approach to the coding problem will expect you to solve with that particular approach only. Despite of solving the coding questions and passing all test cases, you will be rejected because you didn’t solve it with that particular approach which the interviewer knew. Not only this, first the HRs will be very nice with you and then after rejection even if you message them 100 times to share the detailed feedback, they won’t reply you.
I would suggest not to waste time and efforts giving interview with this company because their interview criteria is not fair.
