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. As a large-scale graduate employer, we naturally serve as a springboard for early-stage career professionals who are attracted to AlphaSights for the transferability of skills and the optionality of taking on new roles later on. We are proud to see AlphaSights alumni go on and succeed across multiple fields, including finance (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, etc.), technology (Amazon, Google, Meta, Salesforce, etc.), business school (Harvard, Insead, LBS, Stanford, Wharton, etc.) and entrepreneurship (Days Brewing, Dialectica, Tegus, Tribe, etc.) 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

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. Career success is core to our philosophy, and we go to great lengths to make sure the rules are clear and the rewards are attractive. We regularly benchmark our compensation and peg it such that our top performers can match or outearn their peers at global top-tier employers. We operate a rigorous, data-driven, and rules-based promotion process that promotes, twice per year, 150+ colleagues across our Associate, Manager, and Vice President cohorts. We provide our top performers with additional responsibility, internal mobility, and opportunities for creating new organizational units. To this day, we are led by our co-founders and a largely homegrown leadership team. 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

Pros

1. Very supportive peers, associates are mostly great people to work with/hang out with 2. Young demographic(however, later realized this speaks for the high churn rates at this company) 3. Relatively decent compensation(however, still low compared to NYC living cost and the workload)

Cons

1. Performance is the most, if not ONLY, important thing, even though part of the job depends on luck 2. True that there are a variety types of projects, but you can only dip your toes in them with the given workload, cannot learn too much or actually network with people the way one might expect to 3. Micromanagement(this depends on who is the manager but many associates I know did not have much autonomy); juvenile management style(instead of manage associates strategically, constantly using ending contract to pressure employees to improve) 4. Typical working hour is 8-7(they said typical is 8-6, on job offer only says 8 am as begin time no specificity on logging off hours), working overtime(after hour weekdays and weekends) is a norm

Thank you for your feedback. Working alongside high-performing peers accelerates growth and boosts performance. That being said, expectations are high and not everyone makes it to the top of the leaderboard. Successful Associates are gritty, resilient, and willing to go the extra mile (which occasionally means responding to experts or clients after hours). In return, Associates receive commercial responsibility from day one, supported by Managers who are well-equipped to help them reach their full potential. Thank you for your continued commitment to the firm. - The AlphaSights Team
