The first step was a one-way video interview. You have unlimited time and takes to answer the questions. I passed this stage, and got to the next step in the interview process. This was a two-part test. First, a super easy typing test.
Next, they have you roleplay a scenario in which you have a certain amount of time to research a government contract (sort of) online, and call someone (who is actually at AlphaBrook) who roleplays as a government official with information about the contract. You do not have anyone watching you putting pressure on you during this time. The interviewer leaves and you send in the report as an email.
Sadly, I made a major error in my researching process that forced me to re-write my report on the contract almost entirely right at the end of the time given, so while I don't actually know for sure I will be rejected I have to assume I will be based on the poor quality of my report.
Still, that's my fault. I actually thought this was a fantastic interview process. The first part gives the candidates the opportunity to really thoughtfully answer questions. The second part gives you a realistic sense of what the job will actually be like.
The interviewer was casual and super laid back. I don't understand why other reviewers are knocking AlphaBrook for this. I appreciated it. This is an up and coming tech company. Don't expect everyone to be a stuffy- business person.
Overall, I really enjoyed this process. Disappointed I messed up with my report because I would have liked to work here.
