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

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

Nothing as such

Dislikes

When I was hired they confirmed me that the work will match my previous job role and structure, later I found that I need to compete with the CA's on Financial Services and statements. As a B.tech and Masters in Business Analytics it was not a cup of tea for me. Still I tried to my best , one day I visited my Senior Manager and asked her to put me to some desired project I explained the situation I mentioned above , I was shocked to know the same person interviewed me and with a Question mark on serious note she was telling me Aren't you from the Financial Background? I was shocked and stunned. Phase 2- I suddenly had a serious medical urgency with my dad , with a critical Spine Surgery, I took the WFH permission from my Leads and HRBP on the same, still with each day I was humiliated . I was completing my work after coming back from hospital from 8.30pm at night till 4am in the morning , instead of any Thanks or Appreciated mail I was getting a call from my Manager and she was claiming myself a Shit in work culture, I was not claiming any extra amount for my work . After all these I came out of PwC without any offer because for me keeping my mental health to be stable is a big issue....Read More

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

Great people, great environment although this may differ from project to project and individual people behavior. Perks are very good. High cover health insurance, L&D benefits, awesome flexibility and additional self enrolled fund benefit for near and dear one (applicable on individual selection)

Dislikes

Sometime some leadership do micro management which affects adversely to the mental health. Major dislike is initially you will get a good salary if you switch from any other company to PwC. But in appraisal expecting much may disappoint you.

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.

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
