How would you compare L.E.K. and Alix? Any overlap in work? Firm culture?

Thanks.

Alix is largely performance improvement / turnaround. High intensity cases that drive tangible impact. The interview process was very robust from what I remember (quite exhausting tbh). Most of the people I know there are quite happy (n=4)

LEK is largely a DD firm. High intensity cases where you do due diligences over and over. Most of the people I know there hate it and complain about the toxic culture (n=5)

Can confirm the second part n=3

Agree with the above. I’d say our work on the consulting side (not Rx) is more similar to mbb/big 4 (mix of strategy and implementation with a focus on impact) than it is to lek.

Big 4 and impact?

L.E.K. has a culture problem (from what I hear)

What makes the LEK culture toxic?
