Pros

AlphaSights is a really interesting company, by expertly maintaining a startup culture they keep employees happy despite that they’re being paid under the market rate for monotonous work that lacks any form of intellectual stimulation. Many people will be happy working here, my only advice to current and prospective employees is to really think about what you're being offered in exchange for the work you are doing.

Cons

Most of the daily work consists of looking people up on linkedin, calling people on the phone, and scheduling phone calls for clients, none of which is intellectually stimulating in any way. The only skill that you will take away from this job is the ability to speak on the phone, which you will get very good at. It is amazing to see how a fun culture can make almost everyone at this company ok with being paid so little to live in NYC and work 60+ hours a week.
