Pros

The people, perks, benefits are the only pros

Cons

Leadership is awful, there is no work life balance, the pay is horrible when you actually consider the hours they expect you to work, they act as though you are disposable, the list goes on

Pros

Most of the people were great, and nearly everyone truly cares about one another. The role provided opportunities to take on project level leadership and training early in a career. However, it is tough (not impossible) to drive non-cultural innovation (inherently good for career growth) due various approval layers , despite the fact that junior level employees are encouraged to take on new initiatives.

Cons

Hours and micromanagement. Worked 60-70 hour weeks regularly, received feedback on workflow and encouraged to push myself further during a month where I exceeded “hurdle” by over 100% and was visibly burnt out. Managers also pitch AlphaSights as a good stepping stone for fairly any career path which simply is not true. If you’re not seeking a more sales/account management focused career path, it likely makes sense to avoid.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. Some of our managers are new to the role, and they can only gain experience and skill if we invest in them. We have robust HR and PD processes that help them get up to speed quickly and course-correct when needed. It's also very important that all of our managers display high levels of empathy for their team members. Concerning the long hours, we are not the average 9-5 business. Like many professional services roles, this is a high-performance environment, and our hours mirror those of our high-calibre clients. Therefore, you will be required to work longer hours from time to time to meet our clients' needs. With that said, we offer a generous vacation package and encourage our employees to take time off so they can rest and recharge. Alongside this, our Employee Assistance Program gives employees access to confidential, short-term counselling and work/life services should they require additional support. On a final note, we believe AlphaSights is a great stepping stone for many career paths, with our alumni using the skills they gained with us to progress onto a range of roles and disciplines with some of the top employers and MBA programs in the world. - Sincerely Dominique, SVP Europe

Pros

Good practice for interviews. Important to have practice interacting with arrogant people.

Cons

Unbelievably long process for a mediocre postion.
