Pros

young company and fun outings/ people to work with, good PTO, good training and development for a first time job, good career progression if you can stand doing the job long enough

Cons

Job is very repetitive, boring and unrewarding. Long hours- say the workday is 8-6 but often times found myself working much much later to try to complete everything I was assigned to do in a day. You experience at AlphaSights is very team dependent and you have no say what team you will be placed on. Performance pay is the same across teams but some teams have a much easier time hitting their hurdles and getting this pay than others- compensation is not necessarily reflective of hard work. Management is too young and can make the work environment feel like a high school at times. Very high turnover and burnout because the work itself honestly just sucks.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed the community at AlphaSights, and are sorry to hear that some aspects of the experience like the working hours did not meet your expectations. The associate role involves intense, high-frequency project work, and repetition is critical to learning and improving in any domain, as it takes hours and practice to get good at something. We appreciate that the role isn't for everyone and wish you all the best. - The AlphaSights Team

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.
