Pros
Note: Glassdoor reviews are required to be written by Analysts during their first month on the job, which heavily skews the ratings in favor of the company. Your first month is not nearly as indicative of your entire experience at AlphaSights. Aside from that, there are fun, ambitious, and bright people currently working here. The office is quite social as the company is fairly young in age, and there are many social events that take place in and out of the office. Can be a very "college 2.0" feel.
Cons
For good reason, there has been a mass exodus from AlphaSights in recent months. Employees are grossly dissatisfied with pay, management, hours, and the work itself. "Analyst" is a misnomer, as there is no analysis involved in this job. Employees are measured solely on the number of calls they sell and not on their overall contribution to the firm. As mentioned above, the majority of employees, including management, are in their 20s and lack significant experience in running a company. As a result, it is terribly mismanaged and unprofessional. Management is predatory towards entry level employees and ill prepared to deal with the rapid changes the firm must undergo. Overall dreadful place to work.
