Alvarez & Marsal Hi Alvarez & Marsal and AlixPartners folks,

I'm exploring new career opportunities and would love to learn more about the work culture, projects, and roles at AlixPartners and Alvarez & Marsal that relates to operational improvement work.

I would greatly appreciate the chance to have a quick call with you to find out more.

Thanks in advance!

You can just ask the questions here. It’s all going to be very team and project dependent. In general at A&M expect long hours on project work and being well compensated for that.

It’s non uncommon to work 12+ hours a day, and in some pockets it’s more.

There’s also very little bureaucracy. Everyone at all levels do analysis or slide building (how much of that varies though).

If you’re a junior resource you need to be able to flex from leadership to execution extremely quickly. I can go on and on but hope this helps

You’ll need to be more specific on area within operational improvements (PE vs corp, which industry group, etc). In general, at both firms you work with smart people who have expertise in a particular area, work hard and get paid a lot. Both firms seem to attract similar personality types. Alix literally administers a personality test as part of the interview process.
