I was interviewing with AlixPartners for a Performance Improvement Consultant role. After successfully passing two case study rounds, I was invited to the partner interview. However, the interview was canceled twice due to the partner’s unavailability. Strangely, I received an email today stating that, after careful consideration, they have decided not to proceed. I wonder what might have changed so suddenly—does anyone at AlixPartners know if the role has been canceled?

In my experience they have somewhat peculiar HR practices. Lots of random rules, lots of particular requirement around what they think is a fit for various practices, and of course their leveling and seniority approach is eccentric already.

Very successful firm, for sure, but unusual in this regard.

AP also seem to have about 6 layers to interviewing so could just be a pipeline running out of road

I’ve interviewed with them in the past and they had no respect for interviewees: last minute cancellation, delays, in the end to ghost me. Also heard from people who left there that it’s pretty bad (~1y ago). You dodged a bullet my friend, all the best for what’s next 👍

Could be the role got cancelled or they hired someone internally

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
