      Pros

      > salary pays the bills > like minded people if youre white, posh, and entitled > plenty of hooking up opportunities between associates and managers!

      Cons

      > one of the VPs often makes sexist jokes about his associates, can think of loads of individuals who now feel uncomfortable around him - total sleeze ball! > if you dont make the company money, youre useless and not valued > job gives you no hard skills > 'client exposure' includes coordinating calls with the bitter PAs in private equity funds > without perks of being in the office, pandemic exposed just how brain-numbing this job actually is, clients dont appreciate expert networks so prepare to get treated terribly > having to be 'on' 24/7 and on weekends, managers will tell you off if you dont reply within 2 minutes > crazy turnover people either quit because they havent used a single brain cell within alpha sights, or get fired cos theyre expendable

      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.
