Pros

- Money is very good, better than most consulting firms - If you like going to a pub with coworkers everyday after work, this is the place to be - You become a master of talking your way out of anything - Misery builds bonds; you would make friends for life here

Cons

- You do not learn any hard skills here, whatsoever, and there is no coming back from that - The work is mundane and boring, You spend 4 years of your life cold calling experts and scheduling calls - Hours are long, Expect spending 70+ hours a week doing the above Unless you are in dire need of money and you don't have a job which pays 70% of AlphaSights, don't join.

Pros

high earnings, competitive pay, young coworkers

Cons

you aren't rewarded with freedom when performing well, hours are unnecessarily long, friday optional WFH makes it barely worth it, plastic corporate culture, lack of investment in true happiness in their employees, lots of degrading cons are masked as "benefits" - you dont gain any specific or transferrable skills and unless you work and think outside of the box regarding skills you could develop, you'll find yourself at square 1 in an SDR role two years out, despite the job not even being a sales role (no, you dont get a strategy consulting gig after this). managers and vps all promoted within, some are very smart and nice but lack of external oversight hurts broadened perspectives
