Pros

Only pro is knowing that no matter what, your next job/ work environment will be more positive than this

Cons

There are thousands (literally) of reviews on here outlining the true nature of AlphaSights (churn and burn, micromanaging, extremely inexperienced managers, ridiculous standards, etc). But I want to point out the mental and emotional toll associated with working at this firm- I was an employee for a little over 2 years (which is geriatric and tenured for AlphaSights), and I want to emphasize the workplace PTSD and residual anxiety that followed me to me new job. Even though my new job is a very supportive and positive work environment, at first I would still feel the same anxiety, nausea, and dizziness in the morning before going into the office as I did with AlphaSights. I'd tense up any time I'd have a new task assigned to me, I'd freak out if I realized it took me longer than 15 mins to respond to a message, and I was very wary of trusting any management. AlphaSights loves to say that even though they churn through employees, they set them up well for their next role- this is not the case. My new job is my dream, and was mostly obtained from my job and internship experience prior to AlphaSights. Instead of setting me up for success or being a "launchpad", AlphaSights deteriorated my mental health and left me with PTSD I'm still working through. I strongly advise anyone reading this- it is NOT worth it. No one should experience this type of work environment and you deserve better.
