AlphaSights Client Service Associate reviews

Long hours, low pay, High pressure

Working here was one of the most exhausting and disheartening experiences of my career. Unrealistic expectations cause burnout, and there is little respect for personal time. There’s this toxic "always-on" culture where it feels like taking a break is seen as a sign of weakness or lack of commitment. I have been told multiple times that showing my stress is 'weak and embaressing'. I was told i need to update my team when I am sleeping, having dinner, have plans after work - so that they know if im available to support AT 11PM. Communication from management is misleading, vague, and honestly non-existent - not surprised since some of them can even be younger than you, and never have managed a team. ALSO - The work can feel morally questionable, they force you into a CLIENT FIRST mentality and to ignore others/experts who are supporting the project. When they ask you if youre money hungry in interviews they basically mean 'do everything to make us money, and if you dont we will belittle you and make everyone aware of your lack of consistency'.
