Last week, Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), a leading global professional services firm specializing in consulting, private equity advisory, and financial restructuring, visited the Lundquist College of Business.
Thanks to collaborative partnership with our faculty and staff, their time on campus was packed with engaging student groups, visiting classes, and tabling at the “What Is Consulting?” event, providing students with invaluable insights into careers in consulting, finance, and accounting. They also shared how students can apply for and succeed in their competitive internship process, emphasizing their strategic approach to recruiting top talent for full-time roles.
A&M at a Glance
A&M, founded in 1983, has grown into one of the largest global transaction advisory firms outside of the Big Four. With offices in over 30 countries and clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to private equity firms, the firm is renowned for its operational efficiency, strategic growth initiatives, and turnaround management expertise.
The campus visit featured Jeff Jones, managing director at Alvarez & Marsal and University of Oregon alum, alongside Saige Klepacki, director of recruiting and talent management. Both leaders provided business students with first-hand knowledge about A&M’s career opportunities, and its culture of mentorship and professional growth within the organization.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out Students
During their visit, recruiters from Alvarez & Marsal shared key benefits of their internship and full-time opportunities, reinforcing why this is an excellent opportunity for business students:
- Intern-to-employee pipeline: Over 90% of A&M interns receive full-time offers, demonstrating the firm’s commitment to developing talent from within.
- Competitive pay: Internships are paid well at $35 per hour.
- Work-life balance: A&M values employee well-being, reflected in its strong retention rates and long-tenured leadership.
- Strong reputation: The firm has a well-established name and a wide regional footprint, offering a variety of career pathways across finance, consulting, and accounting.
- Leadership development: A&M seeks interns who can grow into future leaders, making this an excellent opportunity for ambitious students.
Is This the Right Internship for You? Traits of a Strong Candidate
A&M offers internship and career opportunities tailored for students interested in accounting, private equity, finance, and consulting. While some internships are exclusively for accounting majors, others are open to business administration students. Opportunities are available for undergraduate and graduate students, though most opportunities are for current juniors seeking summer 2025 internships.
The firm especially values:
- Hard workers who are eager to take on challenges
- Curious thinkers who ask insightful questions
- Collaborative communicators who can work effectively across teams
So be sure to showcase those experiences in your application!
