Lots of responsibility early on, leading projects and dealing with clients within the first year You get to learn about different industries, trends, markets, regulations, etc from vetting calls with experts Young company culture

Cons

Clients are insane sometimes You always have to be "on", even when you are not busy because client could come in with urgent requests at any time AlphaSights is great- the industry is brutal

We appreciate your feedback, and I am glad to hear about the skills you're developing in your role. As with any role of this nature, working with many clients brings challenges. Our industry is hyper-competitive, as most service industries tend to be, and our clients are demanding professionals at top investment firms, consultancies and corporations. We pride ourselves in offering them a high-quality service and putting in the work to keep winning their business - this often means being prepared to work at a fast pace once a client request comes in. We foster a high-support environment that equips employees with the skills and training they need to manage the day-to-day expectations of the role and the fast-moving nature of the industry. - Sincerely, Dominique, SVP

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.
