No Job Security, No Growth – Stay Away!

Pros

There is nothing good there.

Cons

If you're considering joining AlphaSights Dubai, I strongly urge you to reconsider. The management is poor, and there is absolutely no job security. They let go of employees the moment they don’t need them anymore, as seen last year when they abruptly fired an entire team without any valid reason. You are nothing more than a disposable resource to them. There is zero proper training or coaching—they hire the best of the best just to make them do endless cold calls and scroll through LinkedIn all day. There is no skill development, no real career growth, just a constant cycle of pressure to hit arbitrary "credit" targets. Once you leave, it’s extremely tough to find another job because the skills you gain here are not valued elsewhere. The environment is mentally exhausting and toxic. Politics is rampant, and management does not care about your well-being. They will push you to your limits and discard you the moment you're no longer useful. I cannot stress this enough: please, do not fall for the promises they make during hiring—it is not worth it. I would honestly take a job with a 20-30% lower salary than go through this again.

Pros

- Opportunity to train people - Hands-on client service and lots of responsibility at a young age - Great people, great guidance and support from leaders

Cons

- Not a lot of flexibility with your time and you are often on call with clients - Experience is super team dependent and each VP and manager runs their team differently
