Pros

Decent pay and bonus (but you do hand over your life and personality at the door)

Cons

Very little diversity at senior levels by way of gender or LGBTQI+. The profiling & screening that is done as final round of interview strips out anyone who is not 'AlixPartners enough' so you end up with people who are all clones of each other... and if you do manage to be let in, you will be an absolute minority and you will be frequently reminded of that - in open forum. This homogenous grouping is held in high esteem and celebrated. The uniformity may be good for client delivery but is devastating if you need empathetic leaders who work to ensure that their people thrive or who collaborate across business silos.

Pros

Hybrid work model, benefits (lots of paid time off, school tuition reimbursement, medical, dental, vision, insurance, etc.), some great people to work with, possibility to contribute to high level work

Cons

Understaffed, hiring freezes, working with client services who treat you as if you’re lesser than them, untrained managers, no career trajectory, working with incompetent individuals who can’t get fired, takes a long time to make changes/complete projects, unrealistic expectations, corporate politics
