We just added 6-7 people from there. My understanding is their work is heavily in two buckets
1. Restructuring
2. Forensics / Investigations

As far as I know, they don’t have a ton of “traditional” consulting type of work.

The guys who went to Alix soon returned to A&M. The latter is bigger in Strategy and Performance Improvement than restructuring and turnaround, and around 3 times the size of Alix and recruiting.

K1, first weird to post on something 18 weeks after it was originally posted. 2nd you are not fully accurate, a few did go back but not all 7.

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
