Pros

- People here really do care, are driven, and want to do well, so being in this environment also pushes you to do well - Has clear and transparent upward trajectory, eligible to apply for manager promotion at the earliest 2 year mark - In line with that, lots of opportunities to upscale and take on new responsibilities, which help you recognize your strengths and weaknesses and build track records as a young professional - Competitive pay in the market and really cares about people’s professional development - offers a $70K MBA sponsorship for managers hitting certain requirements, with NO return obligations. This is by far unmatched elsewhere.

Cons

- quite a lot of stakeholder management, which sometimes may not be for everyone

Pros

AlphaSights is a unique career stone in that while many other companies employ recent college graduates for early-career opportunities, few of them invest the time and resources into empowering young adults to be successful far after they leave. In most workplaces, being an early-career hire typically means you will be squeezed for value, and the hunger and energy that comes with being in a first job can be exploited. AlphaSights' leadership are genuinely invested in seeing their team members take on challenging situations before ultimately climbing the ladder within the company or moving into other roles – and they take measures to ensure colleagues are learning and growing through the role. While you're of course expected to deliver value and very little is handed to you, I personally saw first-hand how most colleagues were part of a collective mission to see one another get better. This is hard to explain without it sounding like an inflated review, so as an example: right as I was leaving, AlphaSights rolled out their MBA sponsorship program, wherein they provide tuition support for departing employees to receive an MBA from a top-25 global business school. There are no strings attached, and no obligation to come back. Do with that what you will, but to me it shows commitment to supporting those who are invested in AlphaSights' success and in their own career development.

Cons

While the pros sound great, it does come with the need to sacrifice time and personal satisfaction for career success. The day-to-day is certainly not easy, and especially for recent graduates, it can be stressful and conflicting. The "worthiness" of grinding at a job like this ebbs and flows, but it comes down to understanding the mindset shift that is required to succeed (which is much easier said than done) and then making the effort (also much harder than it seems) to adopt and adapt to that mindset.
