It is difficult to say, how good this Company is in terms of the culture. It really comes down to your own Team and Bosses. I've been fortunate enough to get a very good Senior Leadership team, that is nurturing and understanding.

Dislikes

1) Team Mates - Extremely competitive, dissatisfied and very very toxic. Groupisms are strong and while PwC hires from the best of campus, they COMPLETELY rule out the aspect of emotional maturity / EQ while hiring candidates. They hire those with good IQ, but EQ is zero. This makes it a very toxic place to work in, with workplace bullies and groupisms going on. As they say, one dirty fish can make the entire pond dirty - if there are many, one can imagine how it gets. 2) Growth Opportunities and Compensation - The growth opportunities are very poor. No clear growth trajectory is shared. Compensation as well, is on the lower side....Read More

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 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

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.

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.
