Good point!

The scale of corporate culture companies brings advantages and disadvantages. Some consultants pointed out that the company's culture was too conservative. "From the daily management of the company to the handling of the project, the company's conservatism is reflected." Some employees said this. Others pointed out: "This is a big company. If you are ambitious, sometimes life will be really hard. If you just want to settle down, that's a good idea. But if you want to make a lot of money, or just want to do something that interests you, you may feel very lost. If a project is assigned to you, you must do it. Of course, it is best to be interested, because it takes some time to complete a project. (Note: Not all offices in the company have such a strict mechanism. Insiders said that the company hopes to develop in the direction of globalization and encourage employees to work abroad. Some employees said that 30~40% people in the office offered to take charge of some international projects. He explained: "The company encourages this practice. The company knows that if these people don't get the opportunity to go abroad, they will resign. "Moreover, it is not difficult to transfer people between countries." An employee said, "I went to China on my first business trip!" Another employee recalled his previous experience and said, "I have been to any place in the world. As long as you can name the place, I have been there. " Salary is not the strong point of this company. "As a reward, it should be possible, but it is not the best." Some employees pointed out this. A former consultant of another company pointed out: "If you want to get a big salary increase, it will take some time." It must be pointed out that in the consulting industry, there is no extra subsidy for staying up late and working overtime. The company seems to be taking measures to improve the welfare system. There are rumors that the company is planning to establish a better reward system, hoping to attract more talents in the banking investment industry and other industries. But at the same time, someone warned: "Companies recruit employees from the best business schools, so they must pay high salaries." Insiders mentioned that colleagues often have lunch or get together. When asked about the activities organized by the company, an employee made a comparison: "There may not be as many as Andersen. I talked to the employees there, and it seems that Andersen wants employees to become alcoholics. " Meanwhile, Ernst &; Young also has its own shortcomings: the training form of each department is different. Generally speaking, employees must keep a clear head to go to work during the day, but at night, everyone stays in the bar all night. The company requires employees to spend 80% of their working time with customers. This has attracted many employees' complaints. Especially those employees with lower positions, their time is spent more on specific projects than on business development. Although the requirements of such companies are not as strict as those of those law firms, employees still feel a lot of pressure. An employee complained about this: "The company's move is simply to let you work overtime, because all eight hours of work time must be used to develop the business. But the problem is that those who attract more customers will be appreciated. " Company homepage:

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the merged PricewaterhouseCoopers has become a real giant and a real global company, with more than 800 offices in more than 50 countries around the world. The leadership of PricewaterhouseCoopers is convinced that the bigger the company, the faster it will develop; Therefore, the newly established PricewaterhouseCoopers is bound to create a big company that no one can match, leaving its competitors far behind. Strictly speaking, PricewaterhouseCoopers has only been established for one year. Nevertheless, the company still has a good performance in the field of management consulting. PwC management consulting company is one of the fastest growing consulting companies, with a growth rate of 40% from 65438 to 0998.

The main competitors are American management system, Andersen Consulting, Deloitte Consulting, Ernst & Young Consulting, KPMG Consulting, AT Kearney and Booz-Allen &; Hamilton and McKinsey Consulting.

At the same time, the company has continuously expanded its scale by acquiring other consulting companies in Belgium and Italy. "New Company Service"-a new consulting service launched by PricewaterhouseCoopers, aimed at helping high-tech companies that have just started. PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting will provide help for the company's early start-up, business model creation and investment attraction. At present, the company's high-tech customers include Cisco Systems and Hewlett-Packard. PricewaterhouseCoopers Management Consulting Company firmly believes that Internet and e-commerce have important strategic advantages as a new way to establish company-customer relationship. "E-commerce is an important growth point of PricewaterhouseCoopers," said a consultant. "We have arranged a lot of the best talents and a lot of money to make PricewaterhouseCoopers the most important member in the field of e-commerce." The merger of PricewaterhouseCoopers and PricewaterhouseCoopers also created one of the largest government consulting companies in the United States-PricewaterhouseCoopers Government Consulting Company. The company has 2,500 employees in the Washington area, and about 80% of its annual income comes directly from the US government. It is estimated that the revenue of 1999 will be as high as 350 million dollars. PricewaterhouseCoopers is making every effort to train top IT consultants. To this end, the company built a 23-acre training center in Tampa, Florida on 1999, and more than 750 future consultants from all over the United States will be sent here for technical training for 12 weeks. In addition to technical training, trained consultants must learn about the company and its operation through a series of lectures and group activities. Trained IT consultants will also come to Tampa Training Center regularly to receive higher-level training in their future work. What do employees think of the merger of the company? Most people are very happy about this. An employee pointed out: "After the merger, our welfare benefits have improved. We enjoy medical care, welfare system and a three-week holiday. Company employees enjoy 10 days paid vacation, plus 15 days unpaid vacation (which will increase to 22 days after two years). "The merger also brought other benefits," a staff member pointed out. "Our consulting, auditing and tax services have expanded significantly. In fact, to some extent, this has covered all the big companies in the United States. Before the merger, the advantages of our two companies were complementary: PricewaterhouseCoopers was good at consulting in the United States, while it was good at auditing and taxation in Europe; PricewaterhouseCoopers is the opposite. Now, any business we have anywhere is very strong. " An employee said that the corporate culture is "well known". "Even in the last two years, PricewaterhouseCoopers Dahua and PricewaterhouseCoopers are still known for their high salaries." At present, in the case of tight talent market, "PricewaterhouseCoopers' salary is more competitive. According to the staff, although PricewaterhouseCoopers does not have an overtime system, PricewaterhouseCoopers does, but the salaries of the two companies are basically at the same level. "You may naturally think that a company with155,000 employees will have an' international' corporate atmosphere." In fact, we are like a small country! "A consultant said. Another employee commented: "PricewaterhouseCoopers is a global company, and the leadership of the company has a global vision. "It is not difficult to complete overseas operations. In fact, the company often encourages us to do so. They will send your husband or wife to pick you up-indeed, PwC's incentive mechanism is excellent. PwC's training for experienced employees is also global. This training program called "Global Introduction Course" is designed for experienced consultants. According to an employee who has participated in the training, the training place may be anywhere-France, Spain, Tokyo, Cyprus or Sydney. Some employees stay in Atlanta or St. Louis. A new employee said, "The global introductory course helps you get familiar with the company. They will tell you about your work and life in the first month and year, tell you who to contact when necessary, and so on. We also do some group cooperation exercises, which are extremely beneficial to foreign employees who are not used to working in groups. We eat like emperors-steak, lobster and unlimited shrimp. "Like most consulting companies, PricewaterhouseCoopers requires employees to work long hours. For most people, "working hours are up to you." "If you are a workaholic like many people, you can work day and night; If you just want to abide by the company's regulations, then you can only work from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday. " However, as the employee said, "no one will get any overtime pay-you are just doing your job." Another employee complained: "The working hours are quite long. On average, you have to work 50 to 60 hours a week. " A large part of working time will be spent on business trips-although the consultant thinks that "the company's business trip system is quite good". When traveling, you "will have a laptop" and "stay in a comfortable hotel and enjoy a delicious dinner". Most people are on business all week, leaving early on Monday and coming back on Thursday night. For PricewaterhouseCoopers, even for all consulting companies, how to retain the best employees is a very concerned issue. However, employees said that PricewaterhouseCoopers has made fruitful efforts to meet the needs of employees. "Some people simply can't stand having to fly over the United States every week, but it is inevitable for consulting work." An employee said, "To this end, PricewaterhouseCoopers is trying to improve our business model so that it can only dispatch employees on a small scale." Another initiative of PricewaterhouseCoopers is to set up an "innovation" bonus to ensure that employees who are brave in innovation can get the attention they deserve. New technologies include e-commerce (whether between enterprises or between enterprises and users) and sales operation automation. It is no secret that employees' wages are rising. About two years ago, Cooper &; Lybrand and Price Waterhouse are not well paid, but now the salary of employees has changed from being more competitive to being very competitive. The company extends the revenue sharing system to consultants, and partners can share the revenue. PricewaterhouseCoopers attaches great importance to the company's quality of life, and the management consulting service department is implementing the "More Nights @ Home" plan, aiming at reducing the time for consultants to leave home. The plan requires employees to work for customers five days a week, stay at the customer's place for four days and stay at home for the other three days. Other welfare systems for consultants include "for your conviction", which has been implemented in the United States 12 places. FYC plans to take care of employees' needs, such as buying gifts or groceries, rather than employees who have to stay at home for maintenance or delivery. Most of the services are free, and the rest only cost $5 at most. Most employees make use of the services provided by the plan. There is also a "personal survival series" program to help employees ease their lives. Company homepage:
