...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.

...en same respect as that of a Partner or a director or a managers no matter what. HIERACRCHY system was prevalent but without special attributes keeping the pay and the responsibilities aside for sure.

Dislikes

The main issue was not the firm but the specific client range(Traditional Pharma CSV) that we were provided or were fetched by our superiors. they were mainly monotonous rather than being lucratively creative in their approach, because of this aspect the potential client conversion ration was being affected to such a extent that bench time for whole team turned in for months,
