The PwC name will carry, whether in GRMS or other. If you are just starting off, get the experience and skillset.
GRMS was not intended to be a consulting arm...but is trying to be one. The biggest difference is dealing with a team with a predominant audit mind set (ticking the box), while most consultants I have dealt with are more lateral thinkers. Not to say 1 is better than the other, it's just a different perspective on solving problems. While GRMS looks like they are positioning themselves to offer consulting, in the near term, I believe most of their work will be more operational/IT risk related (as their name denotes).
I guess the short answer is that the PwC name has some value, but the real question is what type of skillsets/experience are you looking for? |

Thanks for the reply. I am considering to work for them full time next year as an entry level straight from college. I am looking to go to a good MBA program, and then get start a business or work for a strategy based consulting firm. Due to the economy right now, its very hard to get into these firms right now. Whats your take on all of this?
