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

The people are good. Sometimes it could get toxic in sometimes, but overall helpful. I joienda s a fresher 3 years back, people have been helpful throughout. Decent pay.

Dislikes

If you're a fresher (this is in particular for engineering) and if you have other offers from other service based companies (provided the role ur working for will actually be a good one) I would suggest to go with them, and kee this only as last resort, as the learning curve here is very low, since freshers arent usually given the best projects, and this slows down the learning curve a lot.

The firm helps you to improve yourself in a very short span of time and hones your skill in much better way than other firms.

To follow critical deadlines and profitability, you have to work in multiple engagements along with internal work. This may lead to doing hectic work for extended hours on regular basis and affect work life balance.

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.

Likes

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.

Likes

The projects were super good. Have built a whole new process for smooth running of the company

Dislikes

India’s Admin Management never appreciates people who ask questions and sucks at managing including the India head Mr. Sukhminder Singh and his shoe licker subordinates.

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.

Salary perks and benefits 😁

Dislikes

It's totally depends upon manager, this time I got terrible manager (lady) who is not giving any work to me and if on request of uper manager I received any work then also she asks me to charge half an hour only for individual return which is not fair.

Likes

Everything here is average in terms of work culture, work life balance, salary and benefits, promotions, learning and development and work satisfaction. It depends on the manager under which you are working and the team you are a part of. (Auditing domain perspective)

Dislikes

Work life balance in Audit is not available. Salaries and appraisals not upto the mark.

Likes

Scope of learning new things is good

Dislikes

There is too much partiality in the teams, the one who is favourite of manager will get appraisal disregards of the performance of that employee. Fake promises to the clients for work which can't be achieved. Put u in any project disregards of your skill set. They will pay u promote u pn tha basis of internal performances mainly in TDR and not on project performance. Managers are very biased and sometimes they will sideline u eveng though u give your best in everything. Too much tight deadlines....Read More

Dislikes

As far as my team is concerned, the work culture is pathetic, you don't get appreciation or any feedbacks for improvement, all you get is a warning not to fail. The pay is good but the work life balance is way too bad. I have had my share of health issues due to heavy workload and long working hours. I am even planning to quit my job.
