PwC has failed miserably in integrating every single acquisition - D seems to be much better poised. Maybe EY

Every company that gets acquired complains but we had a high retention rate and I know a lot of ex diamond and prtm who have stayed and integrated well.

like

Do you have any metrics whatsoever to back that up? Diamond and PRTM had over 65% retention after 3 years and added a lot of new revenue especially considering both were going to die unglamorous deaths as they were.

S& was a shit show for a variety of reasons, but beyond the general grumbling that happens anytime you get acquired diamond and PRTM went pretty well

like

@pwc2 I don't think 65% post-deal is something to brag about and my comment is based on the diamond and PRTM people I know - the people in the former (in particular) do not really associate with legacy PwC and still consider themselves separate

like

I could see us buying them. We have a good HC practice but I can see the Advisory Board tools + Brand + Connections be enough to tip the scales.

@p1 not true bearing point, diamond, and PRTM were pretty good integrations. S& shat the bed.

^ The Diamond people wouldn't say that acquisition went well at all. Hell, even Coopers people still feel left out to a certain degree.

@p2 lol definitely not - PRTM did not go well and neither did Diamond. Bearing point/former KPMG was broken down into small pieces before being shopped around the Big 4

Eh, I don't see the fit with big 4. I currently work at advisory board and used to be at Deloitte.

Not on the healthcare side though

Then who would buy it? Unless you carve out all the businesses they bought in the last 10 years? Like consulting or their tech companies or education

@p1 it's been 3 years, if the few ppl you know associate themselves with those old firms and are still at PwC...they PwC son

OP maybe PE or different people will buy different parts. Some parts can be spun off into their own business

I'm currently working for a startup that has been unable to pay us for 2ish months while they are trying to secure investor funding. They said they will back pay us and (we're working much fewer hours) and they were reaching into their personal savings for months before and never took a salary. We have patients enrolled so we agreed to help for a few weeks but not for this long. I don't want to burn bridges and I am currently interviewing elsewhere but any recommendations??
