Great employees = great work = great clients = great referrals = more great employees
Pros
AlixPartners only hires the best of the best and even those have to pass a rigorous test. As a result, the professionals at the firm are not only smart, but engaging and well-rounded. They do well under pressure, but also enjoy collaborating. The clients and cases the firm is involved with are typically crisis driven and provide a great professional challenge. As a result, the firm is personally and professionally challenging and rewarding.
Cons
Because the nature of the work is time critical and often crisis driven, and AlixPartners employees inherently strive towards success, often times there is no delineation between work life and personal life. The firm rewards you monetarily for the sacrifices, but at some point, the extra money may not be worth the sacrifice.
