Salary hike.

Dislikes

Leaders are totally useless & inefficient when it comes to HR & admin Department. Shakir Iqbal, Pemanand, Karthi Palanikumar are pathetic employees and have no work ethics. Vikas Aggarwal - Director from the contingent Workforce management team is one the most incompetent leader I have seen. He regularly abuses his team & gives no growth. Should be fired immediately on compliance ground.

The likes and dislikes may vary based on the project you are in within each stream in PwC. I work in payments transformation in Advisory , here the work like balance is good and the team is supportive, for me.

Dislikes

We may work with teams in other regions such as US and UK. Sometimes it is difficult to bridge the work culture gap and may feel like a struggle to do so. Initial compensation discussions are a bit frustrating since the hr wont budge to your negotiations. Hence the salary wont be what is expected when moving companies.

Work policy: When the team gets together, could be once in a week or once in 2 weeks.

If you get a supportive team then you may survive for long run otherwise its hard to survive there, just for sake of Experience & tag of big four you can join. But if your team is toxic then you may face stress & depression everyday w.r.t time sheets ,work allocation. There is huge politics in kolkata office you may face discrimination too if you are from other cities. There is no affirm policy for daily total working hour, promotion & hike....Read More

Good consulting and client facing experience. Skill development opportunities are good. Work-life balance depends on your willpower and to some extent team management

Dislikes

Internal politics, your skills take a backseat during promotion and rating, which is demotivating.

Likes

They have wide variety of technologies.

Dislikes

I'd like to caution against certain job openings at PwC, specifically those in the Kolkata SDC. Despite having access to various technologies, management's approach to learning and development is limited, with decisions often prioritizing company billability to clients over employee growth. The management style is inadequate, with alack of focus on scaling individual employees' competencies. Instead, resources are often burdened with irrelevant training programs. Furthermore, there appears to be a disconnect between the US directors and partners, who seem to be unaware of the actual technology being used. They seem to rely on trendy buzzwords rather than in-depth knowledge. Overall, I would advise caution when considering job openings in this particular PwC location....Read More

At PwC India, there won't go a day which will be dull with monotonous work. Learning at PwC is immense. You get to meet C-suite leaders and work closely with them.

Dislikes

Fake sense of Urgency at every instance. And there is no work life balance at all.
