Among local consulting companies, CUHK consulting can rank among the top three in China, and it has developed very fast in recent years.
In terms of reputation, CUHK's brand is still quite loud, and it can accept many projects from the government and state-owned enterprises. Signs are human consultation and electricity, and others are miscellaneous.
Cuhk has strong human resources and strategic planning, and there are more and more state-owned enterprises and government projects. The overall level of the consultation line is very high, and almost all team members are masters or doctors.
Cuhk Consulting is a direct-operated consulting company, and the project team is directly managed by the headquarters, which can effectively guarantee the project quality, which is very different from the partnership system (franchise system), because the franchise system is very unfriendly to newcomers, so relatively speaking, direct-operated companies are more reliable.
From the perspective of the company environment, the textile business park (owned by Professor Wu, probably for convenience), which is headquartered in Guangzhou, lacks a business atmosphere around it, because it is all textile shops, and the internal environment of the office building is OK, but it doesn't feel particularly tall, but it is also spacious (mainly because the consulting department is concentrated in a large office area, and consultants often need to travel). There are free drinks and snacks such as tea and instant coffee to eat and drink every day.
In terms of working atmosphere, because consulting is a fast-paced job, it will be a little busy. Enterprise projects often work overtime, and interns are relatively relaxed about government projects (but overtime and business trips are inevitable). The project manager of my project team and the professors led by the department are very good, so the atmosphere of the project team and the department is very harmonious. Everyone can get along like friends and handle their work in order.
As for the salary, I'm just an intern, not much, so it's not convenient to disclose details. The income of formal consultants belongs to the upper-middle level of the industry, and the salary structure is basic salary+allowance+bonus. It seems that the average monthly income of masters is above1w.
If there are other benefits, there should be five insurances and one gold. In addition, there are apartments rented by the company nearby for employees to rent at low prices (it seems to be shared).
Generally speaking, because Guangzhou is the headquarters, it is ok for people who just want to advance in the consulting industry and have no clear field goals. Of course, if they can go to foreign capital or don't mind long-term business trips, they can also try several national-level consultations. If they want to stay in Guangzhou or don't want to go too far, CUHK is still a better choice.
The consulting industry is very hard and stressful. It is normal to work overtime with the project, but the corresponding gains and growth will be trained quickly. This is the essence of the industry. If you enter this industry, you must adapt and balance your life and work.
