PwC Technical Manager Reviews

Likes

For the people who don't crib about work life balance and other dumb things, this is a great place to work. You will have work and will learn a lot of things on the go. You'll feel very relevant with the world and the work you will be getting.

Dislikes

Like every other service based organization here too you have a very large team so the processes and accesses are defined as per hierarchy which requires the total understanding of all the work for getting a new feature added to any application.

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.

Dislikes

Peers are mostly not that tech savy. Most people donot know things. People who have to do everything. And I mean everything.

Worst work life balance is a myth in pwc, management is toxic. They do not treat employee with respect , less pay, more work, no pay for extra time worked , managers will force employee to work from home

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.

There is a lot of learning opportunity and if you are willing to do the hard yards, you will get recognition from the upper management for your good work.

Dislikes

Too Much unnecessary work pressures and tight deadlines. Also, they expect you to work in multiple projects simultaneously. Mostly the leads are totally work-focussed so your work life balance is not a concern for anyone.

Likes

Salary, Appraisal, Promotion is good here and people get that without much followup and request.

Dislikes

No job security Short term projects. Random project assignment irrespective your skillets.

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.
