The culture is horrible, specially in the Deals Strategy and Operations department. The partners are very egoistic with zero respect and empathy towards the employees. They are not leaders, rather they think themselves of some sort of kings. They are very materialistic and hypocrites. They sell fake ideology on LinkedIn. That is their forte.

You can learn new things and take up new roles. So thats a plus point which you do not get so easily in other companies. Team is good just higher management needs to be better.

Dislikes

The managers or senior manager you work with that depends work life balance, culture. Some totally ruin your life by working 14 hours a day.

Likes

The only positive thing is that you get a "employed" tag.

Dislikes

Not at all employee -friendly , will make you work even in your death bed. Will torture you even after resignation, 3 months of notice period will be a hell here. Lack of skilled managers, they just use lame jargons to cover their lack of technical knowledge You might be alloted tasks out of your technical role like ppt,excel,etc. Very inhumane company, if they expect us to work out of working hours, should not they also provide benefits out of their policy....Read More

Job security and work life balance. Sometimes so much work life balance that you become bored.

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.

Dislikes

There is always a good learning path in this company but only problem is one might difficulty to extract some times 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.

The working hours are flexible in a day Scope for learning & development from the training aspects The culture at the company and the working environment/colleagues are the best

Dislikes

Worst work satisfaction as the work is very manual and not suitable for a person with CA degree Busy season is literally a nightmare and induces anxiety with Seniors putting constant pressure And off-season is literally completely opposite with literally zero utilization (unless cross teamed) If you want to go into the industry again, this experience wouldn't be counted

Learning opportunities

Dislikes

I am pretty sure people who want to join this company will consider Big 4 as a main criteria and this exactly has been the biggest disappointment for me. I felt like i am working in some start up with no proper procedures in place. No body knows what to do with no clear understanding of responsibilities. Client deliverables are a joke. I have seen onshore mangers asking to pass test cases with jugad their only concern is completion of task before time and removing it from their bucket. They treat India resources as labour with no consideration of their time. I have been pulled into late night calls and they don’t even ask if i have any plans or is it late. The biggest issue has been people with no talent and knowledge of the subject matter seating in senior management positions and this translates to hell lot of pressure on developers....Read More

Learning opportunities are immense. Try working for the Indian partner firms and not the US offices. The growth there, will be better despite the lower pay. Work life balance in the ACs (US offices) are better Work life balance in the Indian partner firms is a lot worse and more client facing Pay in the US offices is far greater but stagnates as the growth opportunities are lower. The firm is also quite middle manager heavy, creating a sort of glass ceiling. The Indian firms tho a lot more demanding have benefits with added client exposure, more autonomy on decision making and your own running projects....Read More

Dislikes

In the US partner firms, the US engagement team calls the shots and you’re an offshore resource. You do have a say in the decision making process and get to experience the end to end delivery but rarely will be running an entire project on your own. The above varies not just within the PwC teams but also within the individual clientdelivery teams. So your mileage may vary. Over all still a great place to learn and way above a lot of other firms from an Advisory point of view. Can’t say much about the Assurance, Audit or Managed Services teams....Read More

They basically report to engagement teams who are located in different countries ( US & Europe). So the structure is like a Senior Manager working from India is afraid of an Associate sitting in UK. Now guess if you are an associate. Also no job security. They keep firing their employees for petty reasons.

Dislikes

No work recognition, no timely promotion, very less increment, peanut size bonus.

People around are all smart and have an immense potential.

Dislikes

Work life balance is for a toss. No matter what you do and how many appreciations you receive you are expected to slog the next day equally. Not because someone is pushing you but because you know there is no back up and instead of piling things, it's best it's get done riright away. 1 manager should at least have 3 team mates but here they give 1 shared resource and it becomes a vicious cycle of work stress....Read More
