Pros

- Money is very good, better than most consulting firms - If you like going to a pub with coworkers everyday after work, this is the place to be - You become a master of talking your way out of anything - Misery builds bonds; you would make friends for life here

Cons

- You do not learn any hard skills here, whatsoever, and there is no coming back from that - The work is mundane and boring, You spend 4 years of your life cold calling experts and scheduling calls - Hours are long, Expect spending 70+ hours a week doing the above Unless you are in dire need of money and you don't have a job which pays 70% of AlphaSights, don't join.

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.
