Nothing

Dislikes

No work life balance at all. Pay is never up to the mark. There can’t possibly be a more toxic work culture than this company. Over working is so extreme that working till 2 even on weekends is considered normal and expected. People who try to set boundaries are seen as incompetent and lazy.

Salary that too if you are from a top institution.

Dislikes

Join this firm if you can’t uk yourself ..they will do it for you .. sheer disappointment after hours and hours of hard work and devotion. Even if you get loads of performance differentiator and good reviews they will ask you to resign “voluntarily”

Likes

If you can negotiate, salary is good Brand Policies (except one or two) Corporate Culture (team culture completely dependent on Partner/Director)

Dislikes

No work life balance, especially in practices like Infrastructure, Risk, Ops, EAS etc. Random, sometimes illogical, travel requests on a short notice

The likes and dislikes may vary based on the project you are in within each stream in PwC. I work in payments transformation in Advisory , here the work like balance is good and the team is supportive, for me.

Dislikes

... discussions are a bit frustrating since the hr wont budge to your negotiations. Hence the salary wont be what is expected when moving companies.

Likes

...e is enough potential for growth if you like to work in the offshore segment. 2. The salary is good. 3. Good experience if you want to move out of India in other AC's or Onshore teams. Although there have been less opportunity to move to the onshore team recently.

Dislikes

1. There is no concept of work life balance. There seems to be busy season all around the year specially in EUM and TMT Industry. 2. If your manager has a habbit of micromanagement then it is going to be very difficult to grow in your job. 3. Minimal to no client facing audit experience.
