AlixPartners reviews

The culture leans a bit too traditional at times it feels like you're watching an old Italian film where most of the roles are already cast. Being unassigned for long periods without clear direction can be demotivating, especially when you’re just starting and full of energy. Structured guidance and mentoring? Not exactly abbondante. It’s more “learn by fire” than “let us show you the ropes.” Leadership under pressure can come off… brusque. Let’s say, not always dolce.

People will comment on your appearance, your gender, your sexuality, your race, your religion, anything they can to make you feel less than. You'll spend a week in orientation learning the life history of the company's founder like he's a messianic figure, while learning nothing about the job, the systems and tools, or the intense amount of bureaucratic tasks you have to do regularly. They expect every single person to reinvent the wheel and the concept of mentorship is completely foreign to this company. As a result, processes are extremely disorganized and chaotic. If you work here and refer applicants, they'll be ghosted by the recruiters, or sent terrible canned emails that don't provide any info. Directors will regularly insult you, sometimes throwing full on tantrums with desk pounding, personal insults, and screaming. You will be expected to answer any communications immediately regardless of time. They would prefer if you did eat, sleep, or take bathroom breaks. Definitely forget about seeing your family. And, you must be psychic as well. If you look up the red flags that you might belong to a cult, this company has far too many of them.
