Insight Days - Client Services Review

Two days of sessions and interactive workshops with VPs, Managers and Associates in the Client Service Team. The insight days provided a chance to gain an understanding of the company, its values and what the role of an Associate consists of. They provided the opportunity to talk to lots of people in AlphaSights and work on the skills required to be successful within the company as well as beyond. An individual interview is also conducted as an opportunity to progress into the final stage for a 2025 graduate associate role.

Yes, I developed skills specific to AlphaSights and their BREAD framework. The seminar and workshop based sessions give the opportunity to put some of the skills into practice. I also expanded my business acumen and vocabulary, particularly developing my knowledge of value chains. There was also a focus on interview skills and I received useful feedback after my individual interview.

I really enjoyed having such a thorough introduction to the company and the opportunity to talk to lots of different people within it. The role available was very clearly outlined and it remained the focus throughout the experience. I took a lot away from the Insight days despite it only being a two day experience.

The company had a strong emphasis on hard work and drive but remains to feel friendly and supportive. It is clearly a very young company which gives it a competitive and dynamic feel. One of the associates referred to the ‘flat hierarchy’ of AlphaSights which I found to be reflected within the office.

I enjoyed the Insight Days a lot as I found them to be informative and challenging as well as fun and sociable.

Yes

Do research into the company and the role at the early stages. Familiarise yourself with the values, competitors and challenges facing the company. Be authentic during interviews and ask lots of questions to a variety of people.
