      Great Company, CEO, and Growth

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Real "Family Feeling" in the European offices - Great CEO, with strategic vision - and is a genuine, nice guy who speaks with everyone in the firm - Ability to work on projects across multiple disciplines. Projects are very important, high stakes matters. Great experience. - Really smart people work at AlixPartners - Great bonuses relative to other consulting firms, and comp is much better than big 4 - Annual company retreats are very fun (some specific groups have other trips like golfing in South of Spain, skiing in Austria, etc.)

      Cons

      - The small, senior heavy teams the firm prides itself on make life tough for junior staff...you are definitely thrown into "sink or swim" situations...but most at the firm are able to figure it out and deliver. The firm is recognising that to grow, more junior staff must be hired. I think a challenge is how the firm will adapt to the change in team dynamics, as junior staff need proper mentoring, training, etc. - Compensation is incredibly opaque...person working at the same level in the firm can have up to 50% difference in comp

      Some great times, some horrible times

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of the people there are the some of the best in the industry. Great exposure to a wide variety of engagements and technologies. If you get into the right group, practice and/or supervisors, the projects can be fantastic. Great for aspiring consultants out of school.

      Cons

      Some of the people here are in positions of authority are horrible to their subordinates. Why and how these people were tolerated always boggled my mind. The only jaded opinion I could ever form, was they either brought in money or they had a MD protecting them.

      Pros and Cons, not for everyone

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exciting assignments and diverse industries, lots of travel, work with some smart people. Specialized in turnarounds and restructurings only

      Cons

      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
