Introduction
In this report I will analyze two different companies that I might have interest once I graduate from college. Being a business student with emphasis in Finance, I have to analyze two business companies that have a strong base in the financial sector, and one which can give me the necessary experience that is needed in the financial market. I will take a personal analysis on Cisco and Ernest & young companies which are both financial stable and can offer one the needed experience required in the financial market. My main sources will come from research using their own websites and sites associated with these two companies mostly from the internet. My main feature of research will be their culture, business background, services they offer, services available and the business aspects that are associated with their customer base and how they are able to deal with their competitors. I will also employ the SWOT analysis in seeking their strengths and capability based on the current market base. This will help me in making a conclusive analysis and answer some of my pending questions as to which of the two companies I will be comfortable to work with.
My criteria
I will use four main criteria in determining which company I will choose to work for. The first criteria are the company location and its environmental emphasis. Since this two companies are located almost globally the company location will be a major factor in determining whether I will be confortable working their or I will look for another company to seek employment.
The second major and most important thing that I would consider is the capacity which the company holds. By capacity I mean the size of the company. The bigger the company the more opportunities to further my experience, With a bigger capacity company the chances of you making it to the top management is assured rather than a family company where it is run and managed by close family members.
The third thing I will look for is the company culture; some companies that offer employment have a difficult culture to work for. Their demands might be too outrageous for one to work for. A good example is a company that will need one to travel within a short notice, this will be a challenge for me as you can’t make plans as you really don’t know if you will be summoned to travel tomorrow or when the management will require you to travel.
Lastly but not least I would consider the remuneration package the company is offering and their job security. Some companies are seasonal companies that rely on certain seasons to have customers a good example is a company making garments for Christmas as with common knowledge Christmas comes once a year through out the year the company might be tempted to lay off workers simply because they don’t have customers. The remuneration package should also cater for my personal needs such as medical or some other incentives that are offered in the market.
