Pros

Have made some great friends here (through shared dislike for the job)

Cons

There are some genuinely good people at AlphaSights but anyone over Manager level has no right being in that position. They sell you on their "accelerated career track" but it's a terrible idea that leads to inexperienced 24 y.o. managers and even less qualified "VPs." The associate job itself is just a cold calling "sales-bro" job with no higher level thinking involved, and 12+ hour days. NY office feels just like a sales and trading floor but with more drama and inappropriate workplace behavior and gossip. Don't know much about the other offices but SF sounds like a 30- person sorority with all the drama and drinking and inappropriate relationships.

All around really great people culture, for the most part everyone is super driven and willing to help You definitley do earn early responsibility especially if you show early aptitude It's fun getting to own client relationship at a young age

Cons

Work and day can be tedious and feel repetitive, you must like talking to people all day, every day The hurdle performance tracking can be stressful for younger Associates Increasingly tighter competition as clients seek to find cheaper alternatives Exit opportunities can feel limited to account management/customer success work
