Pros

Pay is good, plenty of development opportunities, and the people are better than you'll find in most organizations. Benefits are also great compared to many professional service firms.

Cons

It can be difficult to achieve work-life balance, and working project-to-project leaves the future chronically uncertain, both from a scheduling perspective and from an am-I-still-valuable perspective.

Pros

Great colleagues and work experience. Small enough that it is easy to build an informal network. Bill actual hours so utilization is really high for those who are staffed.

Cons

Intense working experience, extremely high expectations, and lots of travel. Never in home office, in fact many consultants don't live anywhere near the office to which they are assigned.

Pros

1) Work on very interesting, challenging and important client issues and cases 2) Work with some of the premier organizations in the world - financial institutions, investors. law firms, and other professionals 3) Colleagues within AlixPartners are highly capable individuals, and generally good team players as well as strong individual contributors 4) Entrepreneurial environment encourages staff consultants to grow their own business 5) Lack of rigidity - boundaries are fluid and individuals have latitude to define roles and pursue their interests within the overall construct of the Firm's practices 5) Lack of bureaucracy

Cons

1) Firm lacks some of the supporting infrastructure of larger competitors, which places somewhat more burden on the individual in developing business 2) Low leverage model sometimes results in senior consultants doing work that would be more appropriate to junior consultants in a high leverage model 3) High hurdle to becoming a partner means that many senior directors within the company are likely to remain so
