It has been great experience working in PwC India for last 2 years. Overall work culture, job satisfaction and quality of work is really good. Also everyone is very supportive whenever needed. Medical Insurance policy is great though copay is raised to 15% from this year. Hybrid work policy is another key aspects here.

...s for learn things as work pressure remains constant and high most of the times. Also compensation wise, PwC is renowned but unfortunately last year hike percentage was very bad. Hope this will improve from the coming years.

This company is a pay master. Compared to other similar companies, this company pays very well, just the employee has to be allocated to any project

Company hired a lot of employees because they were expecting an organizational split, now they want to downsize. They are using 'Return to office' as a tool to downsize. So, whoever is far from office locations who cannot go to office, this is a huge drawback
