AlixPartners reviews

People will comment on your appearance, your gender, your sexuality, your race, your religion, anything they can to make you feel less than. You'll spend a week in orientation learning the life history of the company's founder like he's a messianic figure, while learning nothing about the job, the systems and tools, or the intense amount of bureaucratic tasks you have to do regularly. They expect every single person to reinvent the wheel and the concept of mentorship is completely foreign to this company. As a result, processes are extremely disorganized and chaotic. If you work here and refer applicants, they'll be ghosted by the recruiters, or sent terrible canned emails that don't provide any info. Directors will regularly insult you, sometimes throwing full on tantrums with desk pounding, personal insults, and screaming. You will be expected to answer any communications immediately regardless of time. They would prefer if you did eat, sleep, or take bathroom breaks. Definitely forget about seeing your family. And, you must be psychic as well. If you look up the red flags that you might belong to a cult, this company has far too many of them.

Benefits package below average for industry. Business inefficient, mismanagement from top down. Can't manage their own business well. Employees encouraged to let businesses go into bankruptcy vs saving them to increase revenues to Alix Partners. Directors inflate billing hours, while cutting hours of lower level employees and contract personnel, but expected to throw in nonbillable hours. Lower level employees and contract employees treated with disrespect, long hours, pressured to provide nonbillable hours. Concentration of arrogant, condescending employees to newer hires and clients. More restructuring work than actual turnarounds being done. Many employees with accounting background who never owned or operated businesses, causing problems with completing turnarounds
