Pros
I cannot say enough positive things about AlphaSights. It has truly shaped the trajectory of my career and has provided me with invaluable skills I would not have dreamed of gaining exposure to this early on in my tenure (including managing direct reports and owning a large book of business.) The level of responsibility and autonomy you are granted here is unprecedented! You learn about key skills you can take with you throughout your entire career, including emotional intelligence and resilience, persistence, drive, humility, teamwork, and leadership. One of the most motivating aspects of the role for me is that you see the direct impact of what you do and the effect it has on your clients, the bottom line of the company, and the broader industry and world. The career trajectory is transparent and extremely generous (opportunities to be on the senior leadership team in the late 20s). The leadership team is extremely trustworthy and runs an excellent ship. The real reason people love it here, however, is the unbeatable culture. It is refreshing to work alongside hard working colleagues who take great pride, ownership, and passion for their work; it is most definitely a "wins" culture and we all lift each others spirits and collaborate frequently, and we like to have fun after the workday! There are plenty of fun team events, perks, office happy hours, etc.
Cons
This isn't necessarily a con, but if you are considering a job here, be ready to work! The job is made for people who are extremely driven, goal oriented, fast-paced, and don't mind putting in a 10 hour work day here and there (and will directly see the impact and reward of this work). Overall, however, vacation time and OOO is honored and taken seriously here, and there is minimal (if any) weekend work if you are efficient!
