Pros

- You work with some really amazing and passionate peers - Good for developing soft skills - A lot of Company outings and events - Early responsibility - Supportive of Office Initiatives. Can make an tangible impact on other employees - The AlphaSights brand is growing stronger, enticing high calibre peers and increasing its value to future employers.

Cons

- Poor and immature office leadership. Lead by managers with no prior real working and leadership experiences, whom lash out at Analysts whom speak of the blunt reality of the business or critic the management style of the office - Micromanaging is deemed a skill and helpful for promotion opportunities - Long all consuming hours, particularly if you want to keep your compensation competitive - Poor compensation considering you will be working 12 hour days - Office politics already apparent - The type of work does not encourage any team work - Poor treatment of AlphaSights Alumni, similarly to lepers from the medieval era. Consistent bad mouthing of former employees in public breeds a poor attitude and culture which is also performed by the Managing Director. - Repetitive work, parallel to a glorified call centre

Pros

As a current employee that's been here around 1 year, I just want to weigh in regarding all the negative reviews that have cropped up recently. While we are no longer a start-up, we are still at a stage of growth where there a lot of issues and kinks to be worked out. AlphaSights allows people the opportunity to voice concerns and work toward enacting significant changes, and it's peoples' own fault if they're not taking those opportunities. I agree that more could have been communicated about exactly what the role entailed, but as far as I'm concerned that's an opportunity to be adaptive, flexible, and set aside entitled agenda in order to help contribute to a company's success. There's a lot that needs to be done between start-up and global powerhouse, and there are a lot of difficulties along the road. People need to recognize these difficulties in the context of what is, undeniably, an outstanding culture and an environment of very bright minds, and take steps to both efficiently handle the commercial responsibilities of the job and find the time to engage with and solve the problems that they find so repulsive. AlphaSights is not a place to come work if you expect everything to be handed to you. You need to work incredibly hard here because you have dual responsibilities - deliver our product to our clients, and help our business grow sustainably. People don't recognize that the job consists of both, and if you're not doing both, you're not doing the job!

Cons

Many cons have been expressed, but it makes sense for them to be thought about in this context.
