Pros

- Everyone is young and relatable in which associates can openly vent to each other about how much they hate the job. - The base pay is decent for a new grad and the only reason anyone would stay at Alphasights. - There are gems in which some managers and VPs are great people.

Cons

- A particular SVP is known to have made wildly inappropriate sexual remarks. - AlphaSights won't teach you any hard skills and the exit opportunities are slim to none unless you really spin it as a project management role or sales role. AlphaSights markets itself as a management consulting firm but unfortunately, consulting firms like Bain and McKinsey know that AlphaSights isn't 'real consulting' and know that you won't have the skills coming out of this associate role, so good luck trying to get hired in consulting after AlphaSights. - Upper management refuses make the associate job more efficient. You have to manually send out every cold email which takes up 80% of your time. No one needs a college degree for this brainless, repetitive task of clicking a single button. - Upper management is finance-bro wannabes.
