      Doesn't meet expectations - very similar to a call center

      Pros

      Friendly and nice people. Great extra activities (parties, weekends, sports...). Good salary.

      Cons

      Very boring and repetitive. The job consists in doing the exact same basic tasks hour after hour. Doesn't require any analytical skills, which can be very saddening if you enjoy thinking. Not entrepreneurial as presented in the recruitment process. No holistic project management. If you like even the slightest level of analysis and project management, don't apply.

      AlphaSights should be honest about what it actually is.

      Pros

      - The company tries really hard to maintain a start-up culture, which creates a nice quasi-Google environment of free snacks and fun events. - New recruits are part of a class of analysts, creating an easy-going environment for making friends straight out of school. - As the company grows, junior analysts will be able to grow into a managerial role rapidly. - Bathrooms are stocked with really nice toilet paper. - Good cash compensation relative to other firms in the same space (i.e. GLG and the rest). - In my opinion, the best firm to work for if you want to break in to the "knowledge broker" space.

      Cons

      - As other reviewers have mentioned, this "start-up culture" is mostly an illusion. The seemingly never-ending comparisons to Google (by members of this firm) are only qualified by free snacks. Google is a market-leader constantly investing in new ventures. AlphaSights is not. Most positions at Google (especially the more quantitative roles) demand critical thinking skills. AlphaSights does not. - You will not learn any hard skills besides one-time selling over the phone. This skill is valuable, but not something I want to build my career on. - Since the work does not require any analytic or quantitative skills whatsoever, the exit opportunities outside the "knowledge broker" space look incredibly limited. - Poor overall benefits package (health insurance, retirement contributions, etc.) relative to other firms in the same space. In fact, many of their advertised benefits such as "subsidized gym memberships" and "reduced transit expenses" fall so short of expectations it is both hilarious and appalling. - Way below market salary for larger consulting firms. Way WAY below market salary for finance firms.
