What’s it like at AlixPartners for a PMD? Is the firm busy, is there career growth, are people happy? They say that it’s far less cutthroat than A&M; is that true?

True, but the US Marine Corps is far less cutthroat than A&M.

Alix is more polished than A&M, but not softer. At PMD level, it felt like a glorified body shop run through cliques, loyalty and sponsorships. It’s all about the “boys club”. Growth exists, but not as a clean meritocracy. It may work if you are close to or post retirement and no longer care about building a real career. I personally couldn’t wait to leave, and joining was the worst professional decision of my life. So yes, less openly cutthroat than A&M maybe, but still highly political. The knives are just hidden better. Frankly, I’m surprised they’re hiring, because many former colleagues are telling me the firm is not doing well.

A couple of follow up questions on A&M since that was noted…

Some folks from my practice joined at more junior levels (Director I think) and haven’t heard this feedback yet. Is it different at PMD?

Also, when you all say variable income, how variable? Like $250k base and $0-1M bonus? I just made that up.

Thanks.

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
I’m most familiar with 1 as it’s the audience I work with at current job. Not enough info/experience with other 2 segments. Remaining segments I know enough but not as confidently.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!
