Thank you for leaving a review. I am disappointed to read that you feel you are being micromanaged. This is a high performance environment, and we are working in client services. So I recognize that the hours can be long, and that this role is not for everyone. We pride ourselves on giving people managerial responsibilities earlier than at other companies. We have many first-time Managers and they gain experience and skill on the job. Our VPs and Professional Development team are there to support them and course-correct when needed. We embrace feedback, and encourage the exchange of radical candor in both directions, regardless of how senior someone is. I recommend you take the time to speak with your manager and discuss areas where you see opportunities for improvement. Thanks, Sean, COO

AlphaSights has an incredible culture and a highly supportive environment. I recently celebrated four years with the firm, and I've truly enjoyed the combination of high support and high performance. I have a great deal of autonomy in my role, work alongside an exceptional team, and continue to learn and grow every day. I'm so grateful that I started my career at AlphaSights.

Cons

I've truly enjoyed my time. N/a

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.
