Pros

Relocation support is generous and visa support is offered

Cons

AlphaSights Dubai is a burnout factory — zero work-life balance, no time off, constant micromanagement, and a toxic culture built on bullying and fear. They preach “thinking outside the box” but there’s no space for creativity in their rigid, outdated model. It’s mindless cold calling and emailing all day, with no real skills gained or transferable experience. Leadership is inexperienced and directionless, truly the blind leading the blind. You leave and work elsewhere you realise how backwards and unprofessional this place is. They only promote from within as no senior leader of any self respect or experience would ever, in a million years , work in a place like this.

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
