    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • A two-day insight programme which delved into AlphaSights as a company, their function and what makes them stand out from competitors both for clients and employees. Heard from current associates, managers and VPs. We toured the London office and the rooftop terrace and got to network with so many people. Lots of Q&A sessions and a group assessment followed by a one-to-one interview on the second day.
