We have had a number of folks leave for Alix Partners (not so much the other way around)... they rely heavily on case and psychological interviews I am told.

Didn’t interview there but I know they expect a lot of preparation out of their candidates, go on Glassdoor and read the interviews

Is this your phone interview or in-office?

Phone, but curious about future rounds if given the opportunity.

Mostly they'll ask you your experience, why are you interested in leaving, and what you know about AlixPartners. Obviously they'll answer anything regarding the role. It's important to articulate your interest and skills related to the role. If it goes well you'll probably have another phone interview, then potential in-office where you'll probably have the behavioral based interview, IQ test, and possibly your personality evaluation. It's a little ridiculous, but the pay and benefits are awesome. FAS is a great group with excellent leaders. Good luck!

I've been here for two years, I've only heard of one person leaving for another job. All the others whove left were mostlt asked to leave. The pay and benefits are too good to pass up. Small firm with large earnings helps spread the wealth.

So case or no case in interview?

I never had a case study, but that doesn't mean yours won't. There was more emphasis on experience and behavior/personality evaluation.
