I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlixPartners in Feb 2012
Interview
Very professional process, would have loved to have worked through to offer. Began with phone discussion of around an hour. Went onsite to a local office for a face-to-face a few weeks later. Much more of an informal chat. After two weeks had another phone screen - very up-front in terms of why a fit was not likely. Next step would have been IQ ans personality testing, which is done for all.

Question 1
Much more of a discussion. Some challengjng questions around lifestyle of a road warrior.
Get-to-know chat, Assessment Test (online / analytical), Interview with Team Phycologists, Multiple Case Interviews (mostly at peer or partner level), then final Partner interview with the practice head. In general, rather structured, but can stretch out quite long

Question 1
Quite many questions probing into PM approach and technical capability. For director level, not much discussion for business development
It was a 6 month long process with around 10 different interactions including 3 full assessments. This was fully virtual during 2021, now back to hybrid. All interviewers are very cordial, but the assessments are tough and the bar is very high.

Question 1
What challenges would you expect moving from industry into consulting?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AlixPartners (Manchester, England)
Interview
Logistics excellent.
However the interviews were unstructured and felt at each stage that any notes or hand off between interviewers were non existent.
No alignment in role or clarity throughout the process.
