Pros

Work alongside recent college graduates

Cons

overworked, underpaid, job is not what you think it is- it's just a call center collecting information from business professionals. overall a scam for both the "experts" and college grads. expect long hours for a job with little ROI

Our financial compensation package includes base salary and incentive pay, allowing associates to drive their own earnings potential from day one. Successful associates bring hustle, grit, and resilience, and in return, they develop valuable commercial and client service skills which they can use to accelerate their careers. - The AlphaSights Team

Solid but a bad industry

Pros

Good first job out of college with clear career progression. The people are great to work with and the office is fun. Commission while difficult on slower months is achievable if you put in the hours needed to do so. (55 hrs is a realistic work week)

Cons

Expert Networks are a tough and honestly unpleasant industry to work in. Hyper competitive both internally and amongst competitions, ludicrous requests from clients on unrealistic timelines, and management internally that encourages borderline harassment of the experts within the network. These things all come together to make the overall industry just a pain to work in. They use a lot of buzzwords aka Knowledge economy to make you feel like you are doing some amazing thing for the world where in reality, you work at a call center to find ways to convince industry professionals to take time out of their day to help your clients when there is no guarantee they will get picked for the project or canceled on 5 minutes before a call is meant to take place.

Immature, Sorority culture

Pros

Good first job, build basic business accumen

Cons

This place is like working full time in a frat/sorority house. Very immature and gossipy culture. You are literally being managed by people barely a year older than you...They also expect you to work very long hours and take fresh college grads and burn them out.

Thank you for providing your feedback. We are not the average 9-5 business - like many professional services roles, we offer talented individuals a high-performance environment, which often comes with working longer hours where client projects require it. We offer competitive benefits packages, which include generous time off allowance and wellness, as well as connectivity perks to ensure our employees have time off to rest and recharge. Outside of this, our financial compensation package consists of three elements: base salary, incentive pay, and company growth plan, which is designed to reward personal revenue impact. Regarding your point around management - we offer our managers the unique opportunity to gain responsibility early in their careers. They are continually learning and optimizing their people management skills both on the job and through our training and professional development programme. A final and important point to note, we do not condone the workplace environment you mention, and I would encourage you to reach out to me or our HR team to discuss your feedback in more depth. I wish you well in your new role and thank you for your contribution to AlphaSights during your time with us. Thanks, Sean, COO
