AlixPartners reviews

- Compensation is secretive/opaque by design, probably 15%-20% below market; annual raises are inadequate compared to other firms; comp is very bonus heavy - As the firm grows it seems to be splitting into several smaller solution/industry groups based on specific Managing Directors or markets; difficult to leave a specialized group once you are "in"; Losing the "one-firm firm" culture pretty quickly -The firm has absolutely zero methodology and inadequate knowledge sharing tools (which they are trying to improve) - you have to reinvent the wheel for every project - The "ideal candidate profile" sought by HR somehow breeds micro-managers, especially the latest wave of Director-level new hires - Non-existent training - most "training classes" are hours of case summaries with little detail around actual process - Very little brand presence outside of turnaround/restructuring - limited exit opportunities when competing for spots with consultants from MBB, ATK, OW, LEK, etc. - Travel expectation (at least in Enterprise Improvement) is Monday - Thursday every week, even when not required - horrible for work/life balance - No 401k match? Has never really been clear. - Up until this year (2017) - 360 review process not available

Bonuses and promotions are only given if you're friends with your supervisor. It's not about what you know - it's about who you know. Keep it up AlixPartners...at this rate, you're going to have Analyst-level Vice Presidents. Firm is growing at an unhealthy rate...tons of analyst-level employees that don't come at a junior cost to clients.
