AlphaSense Associate Client Analyst reviews

As the organization scales, navigating internal politics has become a necessary part of the job. Management’s view of the "boots on the ground" experience seems decoupled from the actual workload, leading to some burnout. The current incentive and compensation structures often feel misaligned with the actual KPIs required for success.

They make you take onboarding classes that will eat up your entire day for the first couple of months. They don't tell you this during the interview process. It takes away from the ability to focus on building yourself up and actually getting work done. The proof is in the pudding. I had seniors tell me directly that they thought the amount of onboarding work was insane and unnecessary.
