Thank you for shining some light on your current experience.
People who join AlphaSights as an Associate should be aware of the service nature of the role. We do our best to explain this during the interview process, and will take your feedback on board to ensure a higher level of clarity.
Additionally, we believe in fostering a culture of feedback. Feedback is a huge benefit and essential to any individual's growth, especially in the first few years of their career. We ask everyone to provide feedback in both directions (including to our co-CEOs) because feedback helps everyone improve, grow, and advance — regardless of how senior they are.
A good way to describe the CST role is as a mixture of research, recruiting, and revenue generation. It is certainly not for everyone. If interested, I encourage you to take advantage of my open office hours for employees if you'd like to chat further.
- Sincerely, Sean, COO
