AP depends on the project, but it’s quite generous. 5 star hotels, business class on longer flights, per diem isn’t really scrutinized (and is high anyway).
This has been my experience as well, no one bats an eye at food or hotel spend.
6 hr business class policy could be better, but is flexible enough.
At Deloitte it was mostly fine with decent hotels
We're economy only for all domestic flights but business class for international over 7 hours. Hotel is whatever is most convenient, within reason (policy is dynamic so sometimes $200 is out of policy while other times $700 is ok). Uber is whatever, within reason.
Food policy is very good for us, $150/person for each meal and $225 per person if with clients.
We can expense $20 a day for fitness/health clubs.
All this is for commercial consulting. Government/public sector is totally different.
Pretty much any transoceanic flight is going to be fine to be business class. I had one last year that was about 6.5 out and 7.5 back, and it was no problem to fly round trip business class. They just wanted to make it a little clearer that all domestic travel is economy, and short hauls between, say, DC and Toronto, don't get special treatment.
On hotels, it's really easy. We had a mediocre travel website, and both hotels and flights have a flag for in policy vs out of policy. There are sometimes business reasons to book an out of policy hotel (example: project team was all staying at one hotel in Hyderabad, and by the time I booked, the price shot up such that it was notably more than other hotels in the vicinity. I booked anyway and it was fine), so the system doesn't just lock you out.
There are some times when I can't get the hotel I normally do because it's just way too expensive relative to nearby hotels. Not the worst thing to stay at a Courtyard instead of the JW one out of 12 trips to a given city.
My sense is regardless, it’s increasingly client driven
I’m at a t2 - using current clients as a proxy; one client is very conscious and aggressive, the other one could care less and I have a giant budget, 5 star hotels, etc
Same policy as what you have for T2
EY US, inclusive of EYP, If you qualify as a frequent traveler (80k flight miles or 100 hotel nights in 12 months), you can book business class on flights over 1500 miles.
For anyone, you can book business for any transcontinental flight.
Tier 1 vs Tier 2 is a distinct differentiation even in expense policy and health benefit cost
Kind of a low value add comment
I would join MBB just for the 5* experiences😭😭
Yea, but when your client is located in a place like Midland, doesn't really matter what policy allows if there are no options.
