PwC initiates global rebranding amidst internal challenges like layoffs and budget cuts, introducing a new logo with plain orange parallelograms.
The rebranding move receives criticism from employees and industry observers, pointing out its poor timing and lack of sensitivity during a period of layoffs and restructuring.
PwC faces discontent from employees as it undertakes cost-cutting measures and layoffs across various countries, impacting hundreds of jobs and ending programs like the tech apprenticeship.
The rebranding's high cost and focus on external partnerships like the one with Formula 1 have raised concerns among stakeholders, with experts and employees questioning the creative value and prioritization of spending.
