Pros

I will say that the office does work to give employees perks (it's as if they know it's a bad job so they try and make outside of work as best as possible). The kitchen was STOCKED, there were drinks every Wednesday and team bonding activities once a month. Additionally, now that I've worked at other companies, I've come to appreciate Alphasights' feedback culture. While I do believe once a week was too often, having a set time to receive feedback does help your development. I definitely walked out with better time management, multi tasking, and prioritization skills. (You won't really cultivate any hard skills here).

Cons

The actual work is awful. The work at times can be truly mind numbing. You essentially do the same thing every day and do not need to use any critical thinking skills ever. Taking the time to think things through will actually put you behind the timeline and cut into your earnings. (I suggest reading other reviews about the toxic bonus structure). You're essentially an over glorified secretary for consultants. My team treated the consultants like they were gods-- you weren't allowed to even send them an email for your first few months and afterwards every word in your email would get checked over. There was insane micromanagement (my manager once corrected how I was sitting at my desk...) Your experience culture-wise will definitely vary based on your business unit and team, but the work is pretty uniform. However, at the end of the day it is a good salary for a job where you don't have to use your brain.

At AlphaSights, we hire ambitious professionals who want to own results, build a track record of achievement, and accelerate their careers. We accept that we are not a place for everyone. We are open about the fact that the first two years are tough: our Associates take on frontline responsibility that requires hard work, grit, and perseverance day by day. It is not a role in which one can procrastinate or duck away. But through delivering client success day in day out, our Associates learn firsthand how the client frontline works and how the extra mile delivers commercial success and financial rewards. And this sets them apart from their peers and accelerates their careers both at AlphaSights and beyond. Fundamentally, we exist to deliver success to our clients, and to power career advancement for our people. Our track record shows that when we deliver along these dimensions, company success follows. - The AlphaSights Team
