Pros

- you will probably make friends! like no one over 30 works here. if you miss being in a fraternity or sorority you might LOVE it xx - benefits are generous - pay is decent for the work (but not the hours spent at work)

Cons

- work culture is toxic. expect gossip gaslighting white lies etc., - hours are unnecessary; 8a-6p is too much - job could easily be done at home but isn't - no privacy in the office it's like a communal call center

Pros

Great client facing experience with more responsibility than almost any other entry level positions out there

Cons

Client comes first, second, and third. The company doesn’t care about you. The employees are young and move up fast so don’t expect any mentorship or quality leadership

By delivering client success day in and day out, our Associates learn first-hand how the client frontline works and how going the extra mile delivers commercial success and financial rewards. We provide our top performers with additional responsibility, internal mobility, and opportunities for creating new organizational units. To this day, we are led by our co-founders and a largely homegrown leadership team. - The AlphaSights Team

Pros

Nice office, free snacks, generally good pool of colleagues

Cons

Boring work, constant meetings to discuss performance (twice weekly), management have only ever worked at AlphaSights so take that for what it’s worth. Overall, you will ultimately waste years of your life at this job learning next to no transferrable skills. The “client satisfaction” element of the job is the most taxing, as everyone at the company is oblivious to the fact the clients see alphasights as a discardable resource, and not the partnership alphasights spends ages drumming into you. If your smart, you’ll see this company for what it’s worth within a month or so. There’s a reason the turnover is what it is, anyone smart gets out of that place sharp. There’s no work life balance you’ll be there till 8pm

At AlphaSights, we hire ambitious professionals who want to own results, build a track record of achievement, and accelerate their careers. We accept that we are not a place for everyone. At AlphaSights, we serve the world's top investors, strategists, and dealmakers, and our work schedule matches theirs. Our success depends on our ability to field an elite team that our clients view as an extension of their own organization. We go to great lengths to hire outstanding individuals with high potential: we recruit at top universities around the world, rigorously interview and transparently preview the Associate role through a multi-stage candidate process, and selectively hire around 0.5% of all applications we receive. Fundamentally, we exist to deliver success to our clients, and to power career advancement for our people. Our track record shows that when we deliver along these dimensions, company success follows. - The AlphaSights Team
