Pros

Great exposure, big clients, friendly PAs, good corporate parties.

Cons

- Pay/Benefits below market. - No active career coaching. HR talks a lot about the "AlixPartners way", but little actual impact. - Managing Partners are not held responsible for their team performance and future growth. Hence they do not take an active interest in their staff. - Focus on utilization means real work overload for some staff, whilst others seem to do no work and get away with it. - Feels like rowing in a Single Scull rather in in a Coxed Eight

Wonderful firm

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Amazingly challenging projects 2. Very high level of autonomy 3. Extremely smart and driven colleagues 4. Everyone always expects the best,l which drives everyone to work at the maximum level 5. Great compensation and attractive benefits 6. The Perks. Meals, events, bonuses, conferences. AlixPartners treats their employees well 7. Work hard, play hard.

Cons

1. Lack of direction. You are in charge of your own career. If you do not make an conscious, constant effort to self-promote and network, you will be lost in the shadows. Sometimes it can be impossible to know where you're headed. 2. Lots of plans and lots of talk however until whatever you've been promised actually happens, don't believe it for a second. This applies to promotions, staffing , length of time on an engagement, etc. 3. Unbelievably high expectations and relentless working hours 4. Often feels like a bunch of small specialised teams rather than a cohesive company. A bit decentralized.
