Pros

Working at AlphaSights is quite a unique experience: The company is big enough for you to feel like you are part of a well established multinational company (Afterall there are offices in London, Hong Kong, Dubai and New York) but the employees take great care of keeping that start-up vibe alive. Open office, no cubicles. Entry level analysts are trained for a few weeks and mentored, this laid back but robust tutoring structure was a decisive factor in my decision to choose to work at AlphaSights. New employees are expected to talk to C-Level executives very quickly and are also expected to take on responsibilities in order to make the company grow: Employees are encouraged to make an impact on the company. Last but not least there are lots of social events: Weekly happy hours, sports events, mixers with other start ups as well as group sports outings to some of NYC's major team games.

Cons

Expect to work long hours, it is not a 9-5 job! Alphasights definitely tries to ensure that their employees stay at the office under very good conditions though, so it makes it bearable. It is a very social environment so if one is not keen on being part of a team of driven young professionals this might not be the right place. Benefits could be a tad better but then again management is constantly improving its terms.

Pros

As a fast-growing, entrepreneurial firm, AlphaSights provides graduates an ideal platform to learn the skills needed to grow and maintain a successful business. Further, the actual job responsibilities of helping investment firms determine the viability of potential investments, allows a new graduate to gain early exposure to the key considerations firms make when analyzing new ventures. Thus, I have found that the work prepares you for any strategic role in business. Beyond the job responsibilities, the culture is one that you will not see at any other established firm. The social aspects of the job have made me feel really connected to the people I work beside and committed to helping the company move forward in its vision.

Cons

Since it is a relatively new firm, there are some aspects to professional development that have not been fully flushed out.
