      Very misleading... it's fully a sales cold calling job

      Pros

      - Tons of branded merch, a fully stocked snack pantry, happy hours - Everyone gets a new Macbook pro for work and nice monitors - Huge office parties

      Cons

      -not transparent at all during interview process or job description. it is all just cold calling, cold emailing and randomly DMing people on linked in. mindless and administrative - so much feedback and micro managing. constant 1 on 1s. - only growth if you stay a super long time because most people leave - gossipy, feels like a frat or like being in college all over again

      Thank you for shining some light on your current experience. People who join AlphaSights as an Associate should be aware of the service nature of the role. We do our best to explain this during the interview process, and will take your feedback on board to ensure a higher level of clarity. Additionally, we believe in fostering a culture of feedback. Feedback is a huge benefit and essential to any individual's growth, especially in the first few years of their career. We ask everyone to provide feedback in both directions (including to our co-CEOs) because feedback helps everyone improve, grow, and advance — regardless of how senior they are. A good way to describe the CST role is as a mixture of research, recruiting, and revenue generation. It is certainly not for everyone. If interested, I encourage you to take advantage of my open office hours for employees if you'd like to chat further. - Sincerely, Sean, COO

      Great Opportunities, but You Must Buy-In Mentally

      Manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      • Great people -- fun company culture, everyone is smart and hard-working and you'll make lifelong friends • Lots of opportunity and autonomy if you're willing to buy-in -- there are no hand-outs! You have to work hard and prove to your trainers/managers that you deserve the next responsibilities by embracing a growth mindset. • Great skill development - client management, negotiation, persuasive and challenging communication, upselling services and products, fostering business relationships, closing major deals, training other individuals, etc. I'm 24 years old and have trained 3 associates in my tenure and am managing a team of 3. None of my friends at other companies can say they have anywhere close to that much people management experience at our age! I'm also managing a $2M book of business -- also something not many other 24 years olds can claim. • High performers at the company can easily make $90-100k+ annually without working crazy hours. If people are working crazy hours and feeling underpaid, they're likely not being efficient during the day! I'd be weary of those reviews.

      Cons

      • The role is not for everyone! You have to be a "self-starter" and WANT to do well for reasons other than your performance bonus • People who are entitled and not willing to listen to feedback and improve will not be happy here. You have to work hard and embrace feedback in order to scale yourself and unlock new opportunities like project management and training. • Mindset is everything -- it can take 1-2 rotten apples to bring down an entire team's morale. Everyone has their off-days which means there are some low points, but every day is different so you just have to move on and not let it impact you too much (resilience is arguably the most important skill you develop in the client services role)
