PwC Assistant Director 1 salaries in India

Good learning, brand identity, good pay

Dislikes

Very toxic culture, some of the senior leaders in PwC's very own HR team lack basic work ethics & people management skills. Individuals in leadership roles are promoted based on their results but compeletely ignoring their behavioural aspects. I dont think this review would even matter to them.

Only thing that I like about this company, they provide so much benefits for their employer, gifts, bonus, if you want you could add even your X-wife or Husband to mediclaim, excets others etc, company think upto that much.

Dislikes

There is no work life balance, too much pressure and there is no scope to reduce that, it's really depends in which dept. are you working on.

Salary is really good. There is a lot of strategic experience can be gathered

Dislikes

The process for offshore billing socks. The partner driven culture is good for small head count but be a big organization you much change the way it is right now.

...gn company clientele and exposure to best global practices (atleast in theory).. good pay scales, work life balance

Dislikes

Top Heavy Organisation.. Partners who are in grown PWC products have over time grouped themselves politically licking the senior partners and so on and so forth.. in some small teams, one can even find the youngest team member, i.e., analysts licking to their seniors as that is the only protocol required other than being in the right groups.. if these jokers (the inhouse breed) are asked to practice without their brand, no one would stand them for more than 5 minutes. Low on business accumen - surviving purely on past goodwill, joining of Non-pwc bred partners and some ex- government officials and most inportantly Referral work from PwC network firms.

...es 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.

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 client delivery 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.
