Pros
Have made some great friends here (through shared dislike for the job)
Cons
There are some genuinely good people at AlphaSights but anyone over Manager level has no right being in that position. They sell you on their "accelerated career track" but it's a terrible idea that leads to inexperienced 24 y.o. managers and even less qualified "VPs." The associate job itself is just a cold calling "sales-bro" job with no higher level thinking involved, and 12+ hour days. NY office feels just like a sales and trading floor but with more drama and inappropriate workplace behavior and gossip. Don't know much about the other offices but SF sounds like a 30- person sorority with all the drama and drinking and inappropriate relationships.
