...e and the number of working hours has gone up significantly amidst the pandemic. The bonus and increment this time has been drastically affected. However, we can't blame leadership; at least they have given us something whereas other companies have not given their employees a single penny whilst making them toil.

Dislikes

Long working hours, favoritism by managers, excellent company policies but not always followed at the ground level

... 1) The brand name which will help you bag better opportunities in the future. 2) Salary is better than most other companies (but still not good enough to compensate for the work load). 3) The work environment is pretty casual. 4) The interview process was easy. Cons- 1) There is NO work-life balance. You'll have to work almost all weekends (for 8 to 9 hours each day) in addition to weekdays. 2) Working hours stretch for almost 12 hours everyday. 3) They will hire you for something particular but then make you work on something where you have no expertise absolutely. 4) Leadership is poor. Your manager/director/lead won't help you out or ask if you're facing any issues while working. Whatever you do, is on you only. 5) There are no benefits like leave encashment, comp off, etc. so you'll be left absolutely drained and tired. 6) There are no learning opportunities. Although pwc encourages you to undertake trainings from Coursera, you won't get the time to complete anything of value.

...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.

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.
