Pros

Thinking through all the options I was looking at in my final year at university, and considering all of the roles and firms my peers went into, I'm extremely glad with the choice I made to start my career here. Strong base salary and extremely competitive monthly bonus system, decent hours and have never worked a weekend unlike most of my peer group. You also get the opportunity to run your own team within 2 years which was something that really appealed to me, especially when the people are all fun outgoing types you'd want to spend your spare time with.

Cons

The firm is constantly changing I guess, but for me that's a plus. Wanted to experience a high-growth smaller company versus being a small piece in a "traditional" graduate recruiter.

I have a great deal of autonomy in my role, work alongside an exceptional team, and continue to learn and grow every day. I'm so grateful that I started my career at AlphaSights.

Cons

I've truly enjoyed my time. N/a

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.
