Avantages
- Great colleagues; senior consultants hail from McKinsey, AT Kearney, and Booz - Collegial culture with minimal politics - Highly accessible partners; I can call the head of EI or CEO at any time and they'll actually talk to me - Distressed clientele makes for high pressure, interesting, and relevant work - No micromanagement; small, senior teams means you are on your own from Day 1 - No up or out unless you're a poor performer; you can be a career Director - Earned bonus model means the more hours you bill, the more money you make
Inconvénients
- Very difficult to make partner as the hurdle is set at having established your own book of business (almost all current partners were established at other firms prior to joining Alix) - National staffing model means you're always on the road - Distressed clients requires 5 days on site
