Pros

The only plus are the lovely people you'll meet there who have been just as naive and unfortunate as you to join.

Cons

AlphaSights was by far the worst period of my entire life. You innocently think you are joining a 'normal' company with great trajectory but all your drams and hopes are soon to be crushed. I don't need to echo all the other reviews but being an Associate is being nothing else but being a professional harasser and stalker in the most micromanaging and toxic environment you will ever experience. They take intelligent and motivated graduates and brainwash them into thinking this is a normal environment. For perspective: there were four people in my direct team who left for 1 to 2 months to recover their mental health. All of my former teammates are in therapy now to recover from this experience. There is so much more to say but just take this away from reading the post: do not even consider this, please.

Pros

-Great company culture (young, energetic, etc.) and fun office -Strong development with soft skills (i.e. communication, negotiation, professionalism, etc.) -Incredible talent

Cons

-Very little work/life balance: hours are officially from 8am-6pm but realistically no one leaves the office before 7pm and no one stops working until 9pm/10pm, the expectation is that you're always on -The compensation is actually not that competitive when you break down the fact that you work at least 12 hrs a day -Very "one-track" on professional development (you either become manager or leave) -Day to day can be very monotonous once you get over the steep learning curve

Pros

Good office location currently based in bond street for London. Plans to move early next year, nothing has been confirmed where.

Cons

Management exaggerates skills and experience to create a barrier between them and subordinates. Work could flow better if everyone's skills were valued.

Thanks for feeding back. Our Managers are young, and this is why top-tier talent joins AlphaSights. We offer people the chance to manage a team within two years; this requires jumping in at the deep end and learning on the job. Best, Gabriela, CMO
