Pros

Made amazing friends through us all being depressed over the job.

Cons

Picture this: you are a highly experienced professional with years of expertise in a specific industry and have a busy life. Your phone is ringing - unknown number. 5 minutes later, another call. 5 minutes after, another call, so on and so forth. You are also receiving emails on a daily basis requesting you to share "non confidential information" about your expertise on a consulting call. You are saturated on all means on communication: calls, emails and Linkedin, anything you can think of (even your wife's phone !!)... CONGRATULATIONS !! You have just been harrassed by a DEPRESSED 20-year-old AlphaSights graduate whose job is basically to be a professional harasser. Some poor employee who was promised a challenging, consulting-like job - who ended up being a poor little phone harasser. Overworked and underpaid, in an unethical as heck company with a power-thirsty little 20-year old "manager". DO NOT EVER work there. If this review can help a bright, innocent person not to be destroyed by this horrid company - I would be delighted. I am so ashamed and embarrassed to have worked there.

Pros

All around really great people culture, for the most part everyone is super driven and willing to help You definitley do earn early responsibility especially if you show early aptitude It's fun getting to own client relationship at a young age

Cons

Work and day can be tedious and feel repetitive, you must like talking to people all day, every day The hurdle performance tracking can be stressful for younger Associates Increasingly tighter competition as clients seek to find cheaper alternatives Exit opportunities can feel limited to account management/customer success work
