Pros

The company culture is incredibly collaborative and somehow every single person at AlphaSights is hardworking and kind. The recruiting team does an impressive job of hiring supportive, friendly and ambitious individuals. I don't know of many other jobs right out of college that give you the amount of responsibility and exposure that the Associate role here does and it makes for a great career foundation. You have the opportunity to see your direct impact on the growth of the business and there are comprehensive trainings in place to help with the learning curve.

Cons

If you are applying, be prepared to work consecutive long hours in this role. Along with a client-first mentality comes an always-on lifestyle. With the great amount of responsibility this role offers, you will have to put in the time and effort to meet your sales/ client management goals. The bright side to this is you'll likely never be bored and will always be challenged - so if that's what you're looking for this role is for you!

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
