Pros
AlphaSights sets you up, very rapidly, with a limitless array of skills, allowing you to progress yourself personally and professionally, straight out of uni. You are in control of your own successes, will support and guidance, and equally exposed to clients at a very early stage. Additionally, the ability to be promoted to manager within two years in a scheme that is rare in the working world. Something I really like about this, is the fact that you can only be promoted once completing the associate programme, meaning they only promote from within. I believe the work ethic, fast-paced nature of the role, and skills you learn at AlphaSights are foundational to a successful career.
Cons
The hours are very long (8.30am - 6.30pm) and you have to be in the office Monday to Thursday.
