US based, I’ve heard good things and busted their office. They’re a smaller firm so name recognition isn’t as high, but, for a small firm they’re fairly well know. I want to say they’re really good in PE and a few sectors - but not exactly sure it has been a few years.

Feel free to dm

its a smaller firm but has a good mix of nationalities, and more collaborative than typical firms

Comp. is a bit lower than MBB / T1 but can be competitive with a good bonus

Were known for DD / M&A work, globally too. so ocassionally we get exposure to large scale PE type deals

Interested as well

I had a friend who worked there. They’re mainly focused on forensic audit, other business functions aren’t well known. So if you’re moving from strategy Accenture to strategy Alvarez and Marsal, then i would say it’s a step backward.
