Pros

I’ve worked at McKinsey, FTI and Alix. These guys take the best care of their employees and have the best benefits/compensation. Also, there’s more of a team atmosphere since it’s not an up or out culture. I really love it here. They do small things, like pay $500 for extra utilities if you are spending more because of COVID, give paid time off to vote & buy you drinks for a virtual happy hour. Definitely the best consulting firm from my perspective.

Cons

You own your destiny here. There is no guidance, there’s no plan. It’s your plan. You execute or you don’t. Hard stop...and that’s tough.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are probably the best in the consulting world. It is hard to imagine something better. Base salary is a tad lower than other consulting firms, but the comp structure is variable, so when you put in those long hours on a project, you're rewarded immediately. This is not discretionary, there is a formula for that. Benefits are fully covered by the firm. Work hours are flexible and they are respectful of needed/booked time off.

Cons

Career advancement is way slower than in other firms. You could be a partner at other firm and still be a VP/manager leve al AlixPartners. Bonuses and promotions are huge black boxes: communication on how they are calculated is non existant.

Pros

Small senior teams Projects delivered "when it really matters" Worldwide presence Autonomy in the delivery

Cons

Most Directors are "free-riders" (strong professionals, but sometimes lacking of a structured approach or strong management skills to support younger resources in their growth) Not fully attractive career path (the time in grade of most positions may be >4 years, with limited fixed salary increase) Almost total absence of younger resources (e.g. Analysts) to support in daily project activities (e.g. data collection, analyses, etc.) In transfer 5 days per week
