I had a recruiter from AlixPartners reach out to me about an opportunity within their Retail group. How’s the company culture, outlook, stability currently? As well I’ve heard the interview process is very long, is that still true?

I’m in retail! Great group - one of the largest industry groups in the firm, with a strong growth trajectory. The people care about each other here.

Alix runs both a cyclical and counter-cyclical business, so we have a stable overall business. You might see ups and downs but we take a long-term view (for example, we continued to hire through the worst and most unpredictable times in the pandemic).

We can probably cover all interviews in 2-4 weeks. Speed is not a problem if you communicate that to your recruiter.

I recently interviewed with them for a different group, VP level. HR screen + 5 interviews + the assessment. I preferred to take it slow so it took quite awhile, but even if you wanted to go as quickly as possible, it would probably take a few weeks.

I’m also in Retail, and echo what AP1 said. Retail is certainly one of the better teams at Alix. The team is great and I’m happy to call a lot of them my friends.

I think the interview process is still pretty slow, but we should be able to work around it.

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that?

At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
