Vantaggi
AlphaSights is quite similar to the real world: it doesn't have many frills about it, nor does it cocoon you from reality with soft furnishings. With that in mind, it's about your own mindset and energy. Lots of my tasks are menial and friends have been unlucky with really bad managers - but delivering the actual product itself is pretty cool, and the service has huge universal value. Some of the younger colleagues don't seem to appreciate how their tasks add up to the bigger outcome - when you notice that, you realise it's a great company to be working at. But you have to be positive and try your hand at projects outside of the role.
Svantaggi
would love the chance to travel to see more clients but not the done thing here. the company also needs to be brutally clear to people about the bigger value of the service. Client can get expert insights very quickly by working with people here but the associates don't seem to see how powerful that is.
