Pros
As a fast-growing, entrepreneurial firm, AlphaSights provides graduates an ideal platform to learn the skills needed to grow and maintain a successful business. Further, the actual job responsibilities of helping investment firms determine the viability of potential investments, allows a new graduate to gain early exposure to the key considerations firms make when analyzing new ventures. Thus, I have found that the work prepares you for any strategic role in business. Beyond the job responsibilities, the culture is one that you will not see at any other established firm. The social aspects of the job have made me feel really connected to the people I work beside and committed to helping the company move forward in its vision.
Cons
Since it is a relatively new firm, there are some aspects to professional development that have not been fully flushed out.
