AlixPartners reviews

They have not been able to retain a Vice President for longer than a year because their culture is so terrible. It is the reason they pay above market. They pay above market because they work you for 80 hours a week, call you on weekends, never train you, and the Directors talk about you behind your back. Everyone regrets working here after a couple weeks. If you try to come up with new ideas to change, it is met with strong resistance. Look around the Chicago office and you will see nobody interacting, nobody taking lunch breaks, and some Directors barely acknowledge you walking by.

People will comment on your appearance, your gender, your sexuality, your race, your religion, anything they can to make you feel less than. You'll spend a week in orientation learning the life history of the company's founder like he's a messianic figure, while learning nothing about the job, the systems and tools, or the intense amount of bureaucratic tasks you have to do regularly. They expect every single person to reinvent the wheel and the concept of mentorship is completely foreign to this company. As a result, processes are extremely disorganized and chaotic. If you work here and refer applicants, they'll be ghosted by the recruiters, or sent terrible canned emails that don't provide any info. Directors will regularly insult you, sometimes throwing full on tantrums with desk pounding, personal insults, and screaming. You will be expected to answer any communications immediately regardless of time. They would prefer if you did eat, sleep, or take bathroom breaks. Definitely forget about seeing your family. And, you must be psychic as well. If you look up the red flags that you might belong to a cult, this company has far too many of them.
