If you can avoid, please don’t come!
Pros
- Young european team - Clear targets - Good salary (if you count monthly pay and not hourly wage) - Fast processes, good internal softwares - Alright if you enjoy sales - Company growing so if you survive (which most don’t) you might have a clear career progression and consistent salary bump for 7 years (usually the longest one can stay at Alphasights)
Cons
- A LOT of unpaid extra hours, my social life and personal wellbeing suffered greatly - A way lower pay than finance or consulting for a similar level of stress and way less interesting (very repetitive role, mostly consisting of harassing people on LinkedIn to get them to do a 15 minute call with you) - Unlike what they tell you, you will have a HARD time finding a good job when you leave. Check what previous employees are doing now. This industry is not well known, and, when known, not well regarded. Do yourself a favour and look at what previous employees are doing now. Even managers with 3 to 5 years experience at the firm end up in basic Sales Development Roles or account management.
