Pros

- decent starter job post grad with ok salary, most of compensation is based on bonuses from meeting monthly quota - offers experience for account executive/sales/bus devolopment roles, great foundation for beginners to transition to higher paying roles elsewhere - if you excel, there is a direct pipeline to become an account manager and gain management experience early on

Cons

- as this is a sales role where monthly quotas need to be met, there isn't much work life balance - if you're assigned projects with clients in asia or europe, expect to be up late or get up very early with no compensation for overtime - the daily tasks can get monotonous very quickly - it's a revolving door where most people leave after their first yr

Pros

Relocation support is generous and visa support is offered

Cons

AlphaSights Dubai is a burnout factory — zero work-life balance, no time off, constant micromanagement, and a toxic culture built on bullying and fear. They preach “thinking outside the box” but there’s no space for creativity in their rigid, outdated model. It’s mindless cold calling and emailing all day, with no real skills gained or transferable experience. Leadership is inexperienced and directionless, truly the blind leading the blind. You leave and work elsewhere you realise how backwards and unprofessional this place is. They only promote from within as no senior leader of any self respect or experience would ever, in a million years , work in a place like this.

Pros

- People are generally very nice, ambitious and fun to be around - More ownership and responsibility than other corporate roles, leads to accelerated learning curve and makes work much more fulfilling, i.e. you can tangibly see the impact of your work on the business - Leadership is very ambitious - the level of ambitious and drive means the start-up feel persists despite being a relatively large scale-up

Cons

- Work can be stressful at times, but that ultimately drives growth, and it's a very collaborative environment, and it always feels like you're in it together
