      An absolute scam, please make sure you contact ex-employees and have them on the phone before/whilst applying

      Pros

      Just writing a sentence here as it is mandatory on Glassdoor. Nothing to say here.

      Cons

      There is so much to say… FIRST OF ALL, BEFORE APPLYING MAKE SURE YOU GET EX-EMPLOYEES OVER THE PHONE (NOT LINKEDIN MESSAGES, WE CAN’T BE FULLY HONEST OVER MESSAGES) They sell the role as being real consulting but it is nowhere near consulting, you are at the very bottom of the food chain. Welcome to the kingdom of micro-management! 3-4 meetings per day to discuss the best way to harass people (ironically your manager is harassing you for you to harass people in return). These meetings called « boards » are split through the day to « game plan » your day (lol). Advice from line managers is constantly the same: email more and/or call more. You don’t need any skills (absolutely no critical thinking, analytics, maths, excel, power point, relationship management, etc). You are basically sending 400-600 emails + calling 10-20 people per day. They expect you to be in the office doing nothing else than this from 8.30am to 7pm. To sum it up => it is a cocktail of a « brainless NPC job » with a hint of « passive-agressive/micro-management » atmosphere. Sounds enjoyable? Please go ahead and apply to become the next cheap version of C3PO.

      Hell-ish

      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

      They have a very nice website. That's really about it.

      Cons

      It's a calling center! Stocking professionals and cold calling. There you have it!
