Alvarez & Marsal Does anyone know what the PTO culture is like at Alvarez & Marsal for Senior Directors in CPI? Does A&M have a holiday shutdown in December? Asking coming from a B4 where 5.5 weeks of PTO was encouraged, in addition to 2 week shutdown, long 4th of July and other additional rotating holidays.

No shutdowns. PTO isn’t going to be “encouraged” since we’re unlimited PTO and no use or or lose it, but I’ve never had any push back in taking PTO as long as I communicate

Yes B4 holiday shutdown is one of the better perks in the industry. But you’ve heard about the gap in pay vs. A&M hence this post.

PTO will never be encouraged because utilization completely drives your total compensation.

You can literally calculate how much money you lose by taking PTO (keep in mind this same concept exists at B4 & anywhere else via the much lower total compensation in comparison to A&M)

So you can absolutely take the two weeks for Xmas/NYE if you want, PTO isn’t encouraged but nobody will ever discourage you. Everyone take the breaks they want, but before/after the break they’ll just raise their hand to work on 3-4 projects simultaneously instead of the usual 2.

Are you joining A&M? And why at SD level?

This is quite common at A&M. Not saying good/bad but SD is a bit of a prove yourself role for external candidates

I'm in a different group, but there is no firm wide shut down for the holidays. PTO culture is average though. I think most people try to take a week off every quarter or two.

I’d say CPI PTO culture is average. Plan to take time when not on a project and work holidays,etc when a project is live

What B4 is this?
