Pros

learn better communication skills and time management, build confidence on the phone

Cons

Hours are way too long .... 8 to 6 on a good day. People often work until 7/8pm and then continue to work at home. There is no cap to the amount of work you can do and even if you feel like you are maxed out, you will be given more work. It is no wonder that people burn out here quickly. The promotion structure is also ridiculous. After 2 years, anyone who was good at their analyst job basically gets promoted to manage a team of their own. But the issue is - being good at managing your OWN INDIVIDUAL projects does not in any way translate to being a good manager of people.

AlphaSights Response
8y
We're committed to creating a great experience for all of our employees, so it's disappointing to hear this perspective. We're constantly looking to improve, so we valuable all feedback we receive (though hearing it through one of our many internal feedback channels would be most constructive and appreciated!). To respond to your main point: people at AlphaSights definitely work hard to provide a high level of service to our clients. Sometimes -- but not always -- that means some late nights. Our people are rewarded for their hard work and the impact they make on the business with performance pay, significant autonomy and responsibility, and rapid career progression opportunities. We're constantly working to make sure AlphaSights is a great place for ambitious people to launch their careers. That means finding people who are the perfect fit, setting clear expectations that this is a place where people work hard (and play hard!), and rewarding people for their contributions. It's disappointing to hear that AlphaSights hasn't met your expectations, but we thank you for your feedback. If you'd like to provide additional feedback or set up time for a one-on-one confidential conversation, please contact us at careers.us@alphasights.com.

Pros

You get to work with a lot of great people who really care about you and want to make sure you succeed in a positive environment. They have a nice interview process and really make sure you feel comfortable.

Cons

You have to work with a lot of different people and work with many of the same project which is not always the most fun but it proves itself worth it!

Pros

Ambitious, entrepreneurial and fast growing. There are strong rewards and decent progression for competitive individuals. An excellent introduction to consulting, information services and primary research for graduates and those at an early stage in their career.

Cons

The atmosphere is highly competitive, which results in a very individualistic way of working, with very little collaboration. All client facing roles are highly sales focused, which means that other skills are less appreciated. Ultimately, renumeration, recognition and progression are based on your individual sales numbers.
