Pros

There is nothing good there.

Cons

If you're considering joining AlphaSights Dubai, I strongly urge you to reconsider. The management is poor, and there is absolutely no job security. They let go of employees the moment they don’t need them anymore, as seen last year when they abruptly fired an entire team without any valid reason. You are nothing more than a disposable resource to them. There is zero proper training or coaching—they hire the best of the best just to make them do endless cold calls and scroll through LinkedIn all day. There is no skill development, no real career growth, just a constant cycle of pressure to hit arbitrary "credit" targets. Once you leave, it’s extremely tough to find another job because the skills you gain here are not valued elsewhere. The environment is mentally exhausting and toxic. Politics is rampant, and management does not care about your well-being. They will push you to your limits and discard you the moment you're no longer useful. I cannot stress this enough: please, do not fall for the promises they make during hiring—it is not worth it. I would honestly take a job with a 20-30% lower salary than go through this again.

Pros

high earnings, competitive pay, young coworkers

Cons

you aren't rewarded with freedom when performing well, hours are unnecessarily long, friday optional WFH makes it barely worth it, plastic corporate culture, lack of investment in true happiness in their employees, lots of degrading cons are masked as "benefits" - you dont gain any specific or transferrable skills and unless you work and think outside of the box regarding skills you could develop, you'll find yourself at square 1 in an SDR role two years out, despite the job not even being a sales role (no, you dont get a strategy consulting gig after this). managers and vps all promoted within, some are very smart and nice but lack of external oversight hurts broadened perspectives
