Just got to the assessments for AlixPartners interview. They mentioned I’d meet with an organizational psychologist & do online/in-person assessments. Any insight into how prep? Questions to be asked?

It’s very hard to prep for the assessments. The psych stuff is personality / behavioral (they want people who are super motivated / driven and embrace challenges). There is also a wonderlic style iq / logic test that again you can’t really prep for. Depending on what practice you interview with there’s probably another assessment that’s more standard.

I’d spend some time really looking into Alix and craft a coherent story about why you want to work there specifically and how your background fits into that
