Culture & Values

Results-Orientation
Are you energized by results and outcomes? We focus on results — look at every angle of a problem, come up with actionable solutions, and execute on ideas that maximize outcomes. Our success is driven by how much value we provide to our internal and external clients and other stakeholders. Wherever we can, we tie rewards to results and outcomes.
Drive
Do you excel beyond what’s asked of you? For us, success begins at the extra mile: we embrace a whatever-it-takes mindset, push ourselves beyond our comfort zones, and challenge ourselves to continuously improve.
Adaptability
Do you thrive in an ever-changing environment? Our work is full of changing circumstances so we pivot quickly and think on our feet. We embrace ambiguity and change with confidence and positivity.
Humility
Do you view yourself as a constant ‘work-in-progress’? We believe that yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games. We approach every day not with a sense of entitlement, but with a growth mindset. We believe that a better version of ourselves and AlphaSights is always on the horizon.
Empathy
Can you see the world through other’s eyes? We believe that the path to our own success starts from the success of others — our clients, our colleagues, and our industry professionals. We actively seek to understand others’ experiences and perspectives, and to build and maintain lasting, trust-based relationships with those whom we encounter.
