      Pros

      - bonding over how miserable you are with your coworkers creates for some meaningful friendships

      Cons

      Every con listed on these reviews are accurate and resonates for pretty much EVERYONE that’s worked here (regardless of team/business unit) but here are some more for emphasis — - atrocious hours for the pay, people will slack you at 9pm asking for something (you will never get a “break” from this job, even on the weekends) - severe burn out (management knows this and does nothing about it) - if you’re not already on antidepressants you’re about to be if you take this job (due to how mindless and repetitive the work is) - highly exploitative of naive young grads - recently docked the performance pay due to the recession so total salary isn’t what it used to be (even when CoL in nyc is at record highs) - inexperienced and ineffective managers that check in with you 3-4x a day (all comes down to a lack of trust from managers) - terrible exit opportunities (this job only really translates into a sales role, unless you’re really able to spin it into a consulting gig but most people know we’re not consulting)

      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

      Pros

      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.
