PwC Mumbai Reviews

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

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

For ESG business unit, the work culture, the pay or the skill development nothing is good. Managers know nothing amd try to squeeze everything out from the associates with 2 3 years of experience. They pay peanuts for lots of work. There is no work training given you just join and they just make you work and expect you to know everything.

Nothing I did not like anything. This big4 does not have any benefits. they just want machines to work around the clock.

Dislikes

Management...too much politics even if you are a senior associate managers will make a ruckus and put the blame on you to save themselves Pay is not that good compare to other big4 Work is also not that good they pretends they have the best tools but none of them works for what it is created and they will start creating another one with half or not working tools because of this they say you should not charge time as we have tools but all the work is done by human manually Culture which I have never seen in PWC. The team members don't even know each other. Working hours well you don't have any you work around the clock and sleep in between for 3-4 hours. Let's say that you had a deadline and you worked till 5-6 in the morning. The loving manager will want you to attend the 9:30 daily call even if you are asleep after doing the work he wanted and then get angry when you don't attend. That level petty people works here...Read More

Comparing with my previous organization, i found there is a little bit breather i get working at pwc. But overall when i see, we all struggle to get a proper work life balance.

Dislikes

There are very limited leaves we get here. From our own leaves, we have to sturggle a lot to take a leave. We need many approvals before going on leave. Talking about work culture, people here don't appreciate your hard work but rather they prefer the politics. But sadly, this has became the reality of all the organization.

Dislikes

The learning path is very poor. There is no proper mentoring in the team and the overall team management by the managers is poor. The hike is very low,there is no regards for the efforts one has put in and no appreciate for the hard work done.
