Might be a fit for HIGHLY performance-driven individuals; very difficult to achieve WLB

Client service associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Very supportive peers, associates are mostly great people to work with/hang out with 2. Young demographic(however, later realized this speaks for the high churn rates at this company) 3. Relatively decent compensation(however, still low compared to NYC living cost and the workload)

Cons

1. Performance is the most, if not ONLY, important thing, even though part of the job depends on luck 2. True that there are a variety types of projects, but you can only dip your toes in them with the given workload, cannot learn too much or actually network with people the way one might expect to 3. Micromanagement(this depends on who is the manager but many associates I know did not have much autonomy); juvenile management style(instead of manage associates strategically, constantly using ending contract to pressure employees to improve) 4. Typical working hour is 8-7(they said typical is 8-6, on job offer only says 8 am as begin time no specificity on logging off hours), working overtime(after hour weekdays and weekends) is a norm

Thank you for your feedback. Working alongside high-performing peers accelerates growth and boosts performance. That being said, expectations are high and not everyone makes it to the top of the leaderboard. Successful Associates are gritty, resilient, and willing to go the extra mile (which occasionally means responding to experts or clients after hours). In return, Associates receive commercial responsibility from day one, supported by Managers who are well-equipped to help them reach their full potential. Thank you for your continued commitment to the firm. - The AlphaSights Team

Depends on your team

Client service associate

Business Outlook

Pros

If you have a good team and are good at the job, you can have a great time, learn really great skills, and earn decent money.

Cons

If you are on a bad team, you can be micromanaged and pushed out after a few months. You work 10 hour days and the money can sometimes feel not worth it.
