Nasty Place, Nasty People - Marketing AlixPartners Employee Review

Pros

Excellent salary, concentrated industry expertise.

Cons

A vicious office culture that valued nothing except consultant revenue. Because support services are viewed as third-class citizens on a good day, leaders of those units were constantly paranoid about justifying their own existence to top management and took it out on their teams. A cruel and joyless office culture.

Thank you for your feedback and candor. Through a number of large firmwide efforts we have made significant progress toward creating a professional, inclusive environment where employees across all of our communities are valued and treated with personal respect. As AlixPartners has grown over the years, we have shifted our culture from being perhaps almost solely focused on our clients to one that is also people centric — with equal focus internally on our people and externally on our clients. While we are proud of where we are today, we are always striving to improve and would welcome a discussion on your personal experience and how we can further progress. Please feel free to reach out to me in confidence.” – Carrie Holtz, People Business Partner - Corporate Services

Pros

less hierarchal in nature than other consulting firms

Cons

seen a lot of off-handed comments about directors from other managing directors in the presence of SVPs and VPs when an employee had put in notice. Not nice. not a very diverse place to work
