PwC Program Manager Reviews

Likes

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

Dislikes

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

Likes

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

Nothing good in Big4 with respect to technology consulting as they don’t have any product or solution of their own.

Dislikes

Specific to technology consulting only - 1. People don’t have adequate experience or expertise. 2. It’s a partner driven organisation. So no company culture. 3. Steve Jobs once said to consultants- “Do some real job” 4. The entire team runs on Google search and chat Gpt. Almost zero field experience.

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.

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

Job security maybe. Work culture overall is good but in my project it was very toxic.

Dislikes

No skill development opportunities, no work-life balance, negligible salary hikes, no appreciation on slogging for months at a stretch

I like the exposure that we get in handling clients and the diverse tools that we get to upskill ourselves due to the wide variety of clients.

Dislikes

The company policies are probably at the negative end for the employees. The HR team as usual will threaten you in case of questions and are probably the worst of all. They keep on changing and reducing the benefits provided to employees.

Poor work life balance, no benefits apart from salary, bonus component is really non value adding. No proper hike for 3 years, this year hike also looks so dull, Cost cutting - no cab facility, no sweet box on festival occasion or hampers for past 1 year, No annual event or fest conducted just some random event conducted at cafeteria, no employee friendly policies. Just work and get salary, nothing to expect....Read More

A great place to leverage the learning facilities the firm provides and a lot to learn with/without the team.

Dislikes

No work-life balance. No empathy towards the freshers by the senior rankers, and heck lot of favouritism. Foremost, no seriousness about the promises they make during induction "Empathy, Care, Respect, blah blah". It's nowhere like that.

Likes

Specialised task and free hand provided to complete the task and take ownership. Help in grooming audit and other skills.
