Pros

There is nothing good there.

Cons

If you're considering joining AlphaSights Dubai, I strongly urge you to reconsider. The management is poor, and there is absolutely no job security. They let go of employees the moment they don’t need them anymore, as seen last year when they abruptly fired an entire team without any valid reason. You are nothing more than a disposable resource to them. There is zero proper training or coaching—they hire the best of the best just to make them do endless cold calls and scroll through LinkedIn all day. There is no skill development, no real career growth, just a constant cycle of pressure to hit arbitrary "credit" targets. Once you leave, it’s extremely tough to find another job because the skills you gain here are not valued elsewhere. The environment is mentally exhausting and toxic. Politics is rampant, and management does not care about your well-being. They will push you to your limits and discard you the moment you're no longer useful. I cannot stress this enough: please, do not fall for the promises they make during hiring—it is not worth it. I would honestly take a job with a 20-30% lower salary than go through this again.

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.
