Thank you for your review. We provide our managers with the training and tools required to fulfill their management responsibilities. In particular, unconscious bias training ensures leadership remains as inclusive as possible. We also encourage our managers to lead by example and to hold themselves accountable while creating a culture of accountability within their teams. When necessary, we also have robust HR processes to course-correct and help managers get up to speed quickly. - The AlphaSights Team

Pros

- Strong team culture and leadership, people genuinely care about each other and celebrate wins together - Agility and flexibility: the team is able to adapt to market changes swiftly; there isn't that much red tape at the company so it's easy to get things done - Strong upward mobility and exposure to people management very early on in your career - Team has been very responsive to compensation changes in the market in order to attract the best talent; leadership advocates for increases in compensation across all levels of the team - Leadership on the team is very open to feedback; when something isn't going well you feel comfortable telling leadership and trusting that something will be done - All hands on deck mentality: people are willing to help even if they're not directly involved in a project you're working on - A lot of organized and reliable processes to get work done; there is some ambiguity depending on your role and the season but leadership helps you navigate it - Almost everyone on the team is high performing: you can trust people to do their work well

Cons

- High growth of the company means that targets are scaling every year; role is very metrics-focused and there is a heavy workload - Longer hours than your average 9-5, but the team has gotten better about work life balance in recent years (no emails or messages after 6pm unless urgent and you're not expected to reply/do work when on PTO) - Brand recognition among students is weaker compared to other companies so it is very difficult to stand out among big name employers during events - Changes on the team are sometimes implemented very quickly and it can be hard to keep up if you do not like the fast pace - Work can become repetitive when you're in execution-heavy roles, but quick promotion timelines ensure that you're never in a role for too long

Pros

- the culture of this company is some of the best I've seen, it's very team-oriented and you have the opportunity to get to know your colleagues on a personal level- really helpful in fostering open communication in across all levels and getting rid of that sense of hierarchy - perfect balance of hard work and fun- everyone here is extremely motivated and they produce world-class work, teams still manage to keep a collaborative environment without toxic competition - the senior executive team has a whatever-it-takes mentality -they are generally open to providing financial support to any initiative that they know will make people's jobs easier & can create true value -training programs are incredibly structured, and they make sure you have all the resources & support you need to excel

Cons

- no immediate cons, I just wish more people were aware & took a chance at this amazing high-growth company - I know I did, and I realize every passing day more & more that this was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself & my career.
