Pros
Alphasights has been a catapult to my career right out of university - within 5 years of graduation, I have single handedly managed multi million dollars books of businesses, led teams, managed people, made data driven decisions, worked on recruitment and still am learning something new everyday. It is a unique environment where you are working with young driven individuals who barely have any professional experience but are all working towards high achieving goals every single day. You are challenged and pushed to your limits which truly brings out the best in you. This is also unique in a way where there is unlimited opportunity for self-starters and support, but only if you seek it. If you are a graduate who does not really know which industry or role you want to start your career in, this is the perfect place as the number of skills you gain here on a day to day is amazing. You get to work on project management, negotiation, sales, conflict resolution, Data Analysis etc on a daily basis! The company is also extremely fair with its compensation and bonus structures where if you want, you can make a lot of $$$$ within 2-3 years. They invest a lot in their people and genuinely care about providing them with great exit opportunities.
Cons
The day to day can feel monotonous at times but that is very common with any other role or company too as I hear from my peers. The associate role is demanding, and will require you to work fluid hours as needed based on the client requests (not a problem for me but some might view it as a con who like to leave work in the office).
