Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. AlphaSights works with some of the biggest and most successful companies globally, which means there are high expectations for the level of service we provide and the people we employ. Working in a global business also means we have projects that span multiple time zones, which often requires working longer hours while giving you the opportunity to make connections across multiple regions. Concerning your KPI comment, our individuals are driven by results - this mentality is vital to succeeding here. - Thank you, Chris SVP Asia

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.
