Pros

- Compensation - Sharpen your survival skills - Great learning experience

Cons

- Work/Life balance. They are global, so demanding emails pour in from overseas while you're catching much needed winks. - Sterile culture. Office activities are infrequent and thinly attended. The (very) few that survive do so because they will consistently blame others for all issues that arise. Nobody, including the leadership team, is willing to defend their team members because the smallest of issues will result in termination which leads to everyone protecting themselves at all costs. You will be told that AlixPartners is a company that invests in its people and gives them the resources necessary to do their job effectively, then quickly learn that you are desperately trying to keep management happy and that’s the only priority - there’s absolutely zero autonomy. You will be told to ignore the Glassdoor reviews because they’re just disgruntled employees. There will be promises that you have flexibility because you’re trusted to do your job and don’t need to be constantly monitored. Then you will quickly realize that you’re told what to do EVERY SINGLE step of the way. Making matters worse, the lack of professionalism is astonishing. There is no hesitation to humiliate you in meetings that include both internal colleagues and external business partners. Every day, your feet will be to the fire because the management team here believes that maximizes productivity. In reality, it leads employees to constantly operate based on fear of termination which causes undue stress and eliminates the opportunity to feel comfortable making meaningful contributions.

Pros

I joined AlixPartners post-MBA, I'm a Senior Vice President in the firm's EI business unit. I did not enjoy my first year at the firm because I felt that I wasn't supported by my team, was not given adequate training and staffed on bad projects without much guidance. I was partly to blame because I did not have the skill-set to produce deliverables. After a year, I learned the skill-set to be successful and switched teams to work with people I trust and who supported me. Since then I've really enjoyed my time at the firm. Pros: (1) self-determined career trajectory and personal growth ie. not an up or out structure (2) compensation is above market (3) fast to results for clients (4) well-regarded firm within certain industries like Private Equity and Retail (5) day to day project work is intellectually stimulating and there's plenty of opportunities to take on more responsibilities if desired (6) investment in tools, processes and people are paying dividends (7) diversity programs are being implemented, I feel the culture is modernizing by becoming less "old school" and male dominated. There's still a lot to progress here.

Cons

(1) New consultant training is non-existent, essentially learn on the job and this can be difficult if staffed on a demanding project and/or given responsibilities not aligned with experience level (2) Work-life balance is difficult to maintain - this job will eat into your weekends and expect late nights on most projects (3) Lack of women and minorities in leadership positions
