AlixPartners reviews

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

Unfortunately, the internal politics are relentless and often overshadow the actual work. There’s been constant reshuffling of org charts, which creates confusion and instability. On top of that, longstanding diversity and inclusion issues remain unaddressed in several areas, despite the firm’s claims to the contrary. It often feels like style over substance when it comes to culture and leadership.
