Pros

Great exposure, big clients, friendly PAs, good corporate parties.

Cons

- Pay/Benefits below market. - No active career coaching. HR talks a lot about the "AlixPartners way", but little actual impact. - Managing Partners are not held responsible for their team performance and future growth. Hence they do not take an active interest in their staff. - Focus on utilization means real work overload for some staff, whilst others seem to do no work and get away with it. - Feels like rowing in a Single Scull rather in in a Coxed Eight

Pros

less hierarchal in nature than other consulting firms

Cons

seen a lot of off-handed comments about directors from other managing directors in the presence of SVPs and VPs when an employee had put in notice. Not nice. not a very diverse place to work
