- Poor and immature office leadership. Lead by managers with no prior real working and leadership experiences, whom lash out at Analysts whom speak of the blunt reality of the business or critic the management style of the office - Micromanaging is deemed a skill and helpful for promotion opportunities - Long all consuming hours, particularly if you want to keep your compensation competitive - Poor compensation considering you will be working 12 hour days - Office politics already apparent - The type of work does not encourage any team work - Poor treatment of AlphaSights Alumni, similarly to lepers from the medieval era. Consistent bad mouthing of former employees in public breeds a poor attitude and culture which is also performed by the Managing Director. - Repetitive work, parallel to a glorified call centre
