I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AlixPartners (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2016
Interview
Met several Managing Directors, took an IQ test and a few personality test. Time-frame was 3 months. The HR/recruiting staff were friendly and very informative. Overall pleasant experience

Question 1
3. ¬¬Describe a situation where you convinced a customer to take a particular strategy or course of action.
Get-to-know chat, Assessment Test (online / analytical), Interview with Team Phycologists, Multiple Case Interviews (mostly at peer or partner level), then final Partner interview with the practice head. In general, rather structured, but can stretch out quite long

Question 1
Quite many questions probing into PM approach and technical capability. For director level, not much discussion for business development
It was a 6 month long process with around 10 different interactions including 3 full assessments. This was fully virtual during 2021, now back to hybrid. All interviewers are very cordial, but the assessments are tough and the bar is very high.

Question 1
What challenges would you expect moving from industry into consulting?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlixPartners (Manchester, Inglaterra)
Interview
Logistics excellent.
However the interviews were unstructured and felt at each stage that any notes or hand off between interviewers were non existent.
No alignment in role or clarity throughout the process.
