Pros

- Pay is good (if you work 12 hrs a day) - Diversity within office

Cons

- Manipulative managers + Vps. Love micromanaging and get upset if you do not attend social events - Spend 2-3 hrs a week to talk about your self but super repetitive - After 5 months on the job, the learning curve is flat. Very hard to get a new job if you spend too long at this job. It is a glorified call centre, and all interviewers know this. Most people who leave Alpha sights, either go on to do an MBA, join a family business, or take a similar role in cold calling. That is a fact - The company thinks that the clients need us more than they do. There are 7-8 players in the market, and they all have the same contacts - Company retention is abysmal. The average person stays for less than 14 months - If you have any other job offer, take that
