Pros

The senior leadership focuses a lot of their energy making sure the employees are being set up for career success.

Cons

Very competitive to move up the ladder. Long, but not insane, hours. Location is not ideal in Times Square is horrible, but the office itself is nice.

Pros

I've worked in a couple of other places before joining. AlphaSights is by far the most goal-oriented and meritocratic environment I've been in. Depending on what level you join at, within a 3-5 year timeframe you can expect to pretty much run your own show (team, clients, etc.). This is pretty compelling compared to most places I know of. The company is full of smart, driven people which makes for a stimulating, environment. While the pressure to perform is high, it is clear what drives success and how to contribute to it. This minimises politics and allows the right people to get on with things. Lots of opportunities for innovation and growth - there's an endless list of things to be done. But you have to be willing to grab them (and not just talk about it).

Cons

Company (and people) often feel stretched. Many (too many?) initiatives being pursued in parallel, leading to shortage of people. Talent bench needs deepening at mid-level and above. Too many are inexperienced college leavers who have little reference points for what working life is about. Also, in its quest for growth, the firm's hired some people with the wrong expectations - if you want a more sheltered, non-frontline 1st job, this is not the right place.

Pros

No two days at AlphaSights are the same. You are constantly managing multiple projects that focus on a diverse range of industries and geographies. From the moment you arrive at AlphaSights you feel like a valued and welcome member of the team. The new joiner training is very well thought out and means that it is not long before you are actively working on the desk and making a difference. The office culture is young and vibrant and you are immediately impressed by your colleagues. I feel fortunate to be working here and excited about the future.

Cons

Hours can be long and you need to constantly be aware of what is going on with each of your projects.
