I am beginning the interview process with AlixPartners this week. It’s for a VP position in their Enterprise Improvement practice. I’ve heard all about their personality test and IQ test. I really want to know more about their case interviews. How are they structured? Are they heavy with quantitative questions? Any additional details would really be appreciated!

Structure has had to change since we went remote, so not exactly sure on format but use to be a case presentation.
However there is a good chance you will get an Operational focused case, so really make sure you understand key operational levers across G&A, procurement, manufacturing, transportation and distribution.
Cases are usually tailored to the industry / service team you are applying for but not always. Key of the case will be to propose implementable solutions that drive EBITDA improvement. We won’t be particularly impressed if you have a fancy framework without that.

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Recently helped with mba recruiting the case format changed for COVID. Previously you received a packet explaining the situation and data. You have an hour in a room by yourself to hand draw charts and make recommendations. With COVID it’s way more interviewer led. Good luck OP!

Thank you!

IQ test? Aint that illegal?

Yea, I am not overly concerned about it.

OP what’s your professional background ? What do you do at EY ?

Hi OP, I just started the process with them. I have my second Director interview. Can you give any insight into the phases after that?

Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background?
