AlixPartners

Overall, a positive place to work. The work itself is challenging and interesting, and I'm rarely bored.They do care about you as a whole person, the people are top notch. Very good comp and benefit package. They have good perks like free snacks, quality office settings (recently remodeled multiple offices), and free office events like baseball games and annual firm get togethers in Vegas or Miami.  Work hours are long but flexible. 

They have done a good job over the past few years in helping their local communities and giving back. Their D&I efforts are just starting, but heading in the right direction. 

Career advancement opportunities are clear and well defined. It's not easy to get promoted, you have to work hard, but they aren't shy about that. Decent mgmt support for personal growth overall. 

It's frustrating, however when the structure and organization of the firm in general is severely lacking. Systems don't talk to each other, activities that should've been automatic 10 years ago are still manual, and a lot of work chugs along siloed, inefficient, and unresolved. As a company who is typically hired by other companies to help under the hood, AP would benefit from hiring ourselves to improve internal departments, systems, and managers overall 

There are high quality people with great experience to share, and engagements will teach you a ton. But as a company there is too much focus on growth, at whatever cost, so they are hiring and staffing whoever is available, while personal fit and culture has been neglected, so what was a weak office culture and work environment has gotten downright toxic. Your life for 6-9 months can absolutely suck if you are staffed with the wrong person, someone whose employment and promotion path with the firm is merely aligned with the peripherals or growth plans of the firm, with no record of how terrible they are to work with.

AlixPartners can be a struggle for Information Technology professionals, the business side of the house does not understand the need to grow IT as the firm grows which can lead to short staffed positions and low IT budgets, with that said, it is a good place to get your feet wet in IT and you get experience working in a very unique place, you also have the opportunity to have your voice heard, as the total number of employees here is around 2000. It is like a big family and there is really good chemistry between IT teams. It's a place where you can build something if you can deal with little to no compensation increases and being treated like a 2nd class citizen by everyone outside of IT.

Overall I enjoyed my job at AlixPartners. The main reasons that I planned to stay with the company long-term were the great compensation and benefit offerings, but it was also a good place to work, money aside. The office was professional but not stuffy; it was a comfortable environment and fun at times. There were frequent office luncheons, and was ample recognition for both business and personal accomplishments. I didn't love everyone I worked for, but it was mostly a friendly place. 
For admins, the office manager definitely sets the tone of the work experience, so it can vary depending on the office manager at the time and each admin.

TPMO added about $15-20 million in resources to build up the organization and once stood up, realized that the ability to deliver did not get better or speed up.  TPMO leader is inexperienced and is focussing on moving up in the org vs building it out appropriately.  All resources hired are primarily to manage the work vs do the work.  Until all parts of the IT Organization can work together seamlessly with each other and the business client, you are throwing good money after bad.  I would change my TPMO leader and Delivery Manager and reduce the TPMO by about 50% and focus on only the major projects which is a list of about 10-13 projects.  Good Luck!

I was a help desk intern at AlixPartners for a summer and it was an amazing experience. I gained a lot of knowledge surrounding IT. The bosses are nice and funny and the employees are wonderful. Be prepared to work hard for 40 hours a week, but also be prepared to be wonderfully compensated. Monthly events/lunches for the help desk team were regular. As a college student, I was treated as an equal which was very nice. This place is void of corporate bureaucracy commonly seen in other corporate jobs.

Everything tends to be a black box. 

You submit emails and don't hear anything in return, when on the bench, so until somebody reaches out to you; you think you're about to be fired. 

You work with really talented people that really know their stuff and it just so happens that you tend to be your own boss most of the time but they have no training so if and when you mess up they tend to turn their backs on you and you have to do all you can to try and get back into good graces.

AlixPartners is competitive, exciting, and take care of you and will respect your holiday, granted that you put in the hours, the quality and the hands on approach of the firm. This is a great firm for overachievers, and fast paced minded individuals. Work/Life balance is hard due to the nature of the work, but after a couple of months, especially if not coming from consulting, you can make it work. 

Office politics are important, though not the biggest factor from the analyst to the Director level. Politics become important as you become Director.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great place to succeed if you have the right mix of entrepreneurship, passion and ability to kiss up

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Incompetent MDs are mixed in with outstanding ones and often driven by past successes story than current at hand. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible and yet many like it. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10-12 hrs. Because it always matters now.

Typical consulting firm. 
Lots of good people but lots of senior folks been there forever. 
Place is run for MDs. 
Very political. 
Has growing pains. 
Like any place, you have good folks (makers) and you have the takers. 
If you want to drink the kool-aid and do not mind kissing some people’s feet, you can be successful.
