I recently applied for a role at AlixPartners and was rejected the same day. I believed the position aligned very well with my experience, so I’m disappointed by the outcome. Does anyone from AlixPartners have insights into possible reasons? Is the firm primarily hiring from MBB firms? Would a referral have improved my chances?
