No Job Security, No Growth – Stay Away!

Pros

There is nothing good there.

Cons

If you're considering joining AlphaSights Dubai, I strongly urge you to reconsider. The management is poor, and there is absolutely no job security. They let go of employees the moment they don’t need them anymore, as seen last year when they abruptly fired an entire team without any valid reason. You are nothing more than a disposable resource to them. There is zero proper training or coaching—they hire the best of the best just to make them do endless cold calls and scroll through LinkedIn all day. There is no skill development, no real career growth, just a constant cycle of pressure to hit arbitrary "credit" targets. Once you leave, it’s extremely tough to find another job because the skills you gain here are not valued elsewhere. The environment is mentally exhausting and toxic. Politics is rampant, and management does not care about your well-being. They will push you to your limits and discard you the moment you're no longer useful. I cannot stress this enough: please, do not fall for the promises they make during hiring—it is not worth it. I would honestly take a job with a 20-30% lower salary than go through this again.

Pros

- Opportunity to train people - Hands-on client service and lots of responsibility at a young age - Great people, great guidance and support from leaders

Cons

- Not a lot of flexibility with your time and you are often on call with clients - Experience is super team dependent and each VP and manager runs their team differently

Intense but rewarding

Pros

- AlphaSights has built a product that clients love and you can feel that on most teams you work on; certainly on the client service teams and in the tech / strategy team. The value-generating opportunities are also complex and nuanced, which drives intellectually engaging strategic work. - You get to work with people who are ambitious, driven, intelligent, but who maintain their humility and overall spirit of assuming good intent. - The founders still run the company and are extremely invested in the overall company's and employees' success. Once they build trust, they provide their leadership team with an immense amount of autonomy to drive results to bring the best outcome for the company and for their teams. - The industry AlphaSights operates within is being changed by LLMs and AlphaSights is embracing that direction vs. burying its head in the sand about it. - As AlphaSights has grown, the offices have maintained a good culture and colleagues routinely forge strong friendships and socialize with them outside of work. - Hard work is rewarded and internal moves to other teams (given business need) and global mobility options (9 offices worldwide) are often on the table

Cons

Most leaders of most teams strive for excellence, which can mean periods of stress, and 'growing pains' caused by extended periods of upskilling. This is a great environment for those who are looking to be pushed and grow and be recognized for that growth. If you are looking for 'a good enough job' where you can largely control your day or limit your work, this place is likely not a fit.
