Pros

- Young european team - Clear targets - Good salary (if you count monthly pay and not hourly wage) - Fast processes, good internal softwares - Alright if you enjoy sales - Company growing so if you survive (which most don’t) you might have a clear career progression and consistent salary bump for 7 years (usually the longest one can stay at Alphasights)

Cons

- A LOT of unpaid extra hours, my social life and personal wellbeing suffered greatly - A way lower pay than finance or consulting for a similar level of stress and way less interesting (very repetitive role, mostly consisting of harassing people on LinkedIn to get them to do a 15 minute call with you) - Unlike what they tell you, you will have a HARD time finding a good job when you leave. Check what previous employees are doing now. This industry is not well known, and, when known, not well regarded. Do yourself a favour and look at what previous employees are doing now. Even managers with 3 to 5 years experience at the firm end up in basic Sales Development Roles or account management.

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
