Business outlook

Pros

I will say that the office does work to give employees perks (it's as if they know it's a bad job so they try and make outside of work as best as possible). The kitchen was STOCKED, there were drinks every Wednesday and team bonding activities once a month. Additionally, now that I've worked at other companies, I've come to appreciate Alphasights' feedback culture. While I do believe once a week was too often, having a set time to receive feedback does help your development. I definitely walked out with better time management, multi tasking, and prioritization skills. (You won't really cultivate any hard skills here).

Cons

The actual work is awful. The work at times can be truly mind numbing. You essentially do the same thing every day and do not need to use any critical thinking skills ever. Taking the time to think things through will actually put you behind the timeline and cut into your earnings. (I suggest reading other reviews about the toxic bonus structure). You're essentially an over glorified secretary for consultants. My team treated the consultants like they were gods-- you weren't allowed to even send them an email for your first few months and afterwards every word in your email would get checked over. There was insane micromanagement (my manager once corrected how I was sitting at my desk...) Your experience culture-wise will definitely vary based on your business unit and team, but the work is pretty uniform. However, at the end of the day it is a good salary for a job where you don't have to use your brain.

AlphaSights Response

At AlphaSights, we hire ambitious professionals who want to own results, build a track record of achievement, and accelerate their careers. We accept that we are not a place for everyone. As a large-scale graduate employer, we naturally serve as a springboard for early-stage career professionals who are attracted to AlphaSights for the transferability of skills and the optionality of taking on new roles later on. We are proud to see AlphaSights alumni go on and succeed across multiple fields, including finance (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, etc.), technology (Amazon, Google, Meta, Salesforce, etc.), business school (Harvard, Insead, LBS, Stanford, Wharton, etc.) and entrepreneurship (Days Brewing, Dialectica, Tegus, Tribe, etc.) Fundamentally, we exist to deliver success to our clients, and to power career advancement for our people. Our track record shows that when we deliver along these dimensions, company success follows. - The AlphaSights Team
