Any thoughts on pros and cons of moving from AlixPartners to BCG Platinion PIPE team (what's up with that name by the way?) Same kind of work I imagine... but what's the culture like? AlixPartners culture is not for me... need to avoid making same mistake twice.

I’ve characterized the culture as “where grown ups come to work.”….it’s just really easy to work here- Transparent and straightforward , no bs, lots of long hours, autonomy to do what is needed. It all just feels reasonable and how a company should be set up with so many seasoned vets around here.

Also, I’ve always felt comfortable being myself - Overly relaxed and goofy. At the same time, there’s a time and a place for that and with a tag line of “when it really matters,” you can’t be too shocked that people are quite serious when they are grinding.

I know, right? It's like saying we have a Digital Product / Services Generalist team...Oh wait

Don’t. You’ll be much happier and make more at AlixPartners.

Interesting. What don’t you like about AlixPartners? I always heard they have a fantastic culture. Knowing what you do/don’t like might help advise on the decision

Is it the team you're working with or the practice as a whole?

Curious AP staff here too. I’ve been at other consulting firms and can say the culture here is by far the best. I’d say the effort to be pragmatic and make the job sustainable win it for me.

OP, did you join during the pandemic? I personally think it’s hard to experience culture in a remote environment and wonder if that contributes to a part of your discontent.

Nonetheless, sorry you feel that way. Another option is changing teams? Same work but different people.

AP5 pay is MUCH higher here though, depends on whether EY2 sees consulting as a long term career or not.
