Pros

Have been with the firm for 18 months. The best part about AlphaSights is the pace of projects. Whether you like it or not you will gain exposure to pretty much every industry under the sun. One warning, it's easy to go into a 'no research, just cold call people' mindset, but being curious about every project you come across and actually researching/digging keeps the day-to-day interesting vs. other companies in the industry. Company has been growing quickly and has almost doubled in size since I’ve been here.

Cons

Comp is good, but benefits package is below average in my mind. Company has lots of perks (free snacks, lunch program, yoga), but no 401K match, and expensive contributions for what is actually not a great healthcare plan

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.
