Pay is decent for entry level professional but this is to trap them.

Client is god, he can demand anything as he is generating revenue for company either obey or leave, there is no one to take a stand for professionalism against client.

PWC is very good place to work . Salary structure is good. I was in the PWC SDC Internal Audit department for 1 yr 6 months and the department staff and head are friendly and helpful.

Dislikes

HR policy is very bad . There policy of reporting to same level is not justified when they are telling somebody to improve. There some Partners and Directors who promoted to their post are not upto the PWC standard. In IT department there are many staff who have no proper degree to work in Information Technology.

...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.

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.

It will give you a tag of Big4. Good learning opportunities and good salary for freshers.

Dislikes

Your salary, hikes, promotions, bonuses and other perks like- Diwali gifts, Parties are depended on the partner under whom you are working. After a good performance and profit of overall team, we didn't get anything.
