Pros
- MBA tuition support: AlphaSights sponsors 70k USD support with NO RETURN obligations for managers, and 35k USD for senior associates. A few of my colleagues and myself got sponsored to transition to top MBA programs - Superb career advancement: AlphaSights offers a lot of internal mobility options and very quick career progression. Within a span of 4 years, I worked both in New York and Hong Kong offices, have frequently travelled to Dubai, Korea, and Japan offices and rotated to multiple teams. I also got to be a manager within 2 years and the role is no joke - it involves everything from complete account ownership to people management and hiring decisions. - Fantastic work culture and management support: most of my colleagues have quickly become friends. Especially in our HK office as 90% of people are with international background. My VP and SVPs had constant touchpoints with me and I always felt heard and that my opinion mattered.
Cons
- Really not a cons as such - but the environment here is for hustlers. People who are willing to go an extra mile, work extra hard and learn VERY quick. If you like a challenge and thrive in results-oriented environment, AlphaSights will be perfect for you. People who didn't like it here mostly were simply not habitat fit for the fast pace of the role.
