...ome leadership do micro management which affects adversely to the mental health. Major dislike is initially you will get a good salary if you switch from any other company to PwC. But in appraisal expecting much may disappoint you.

No promotions (you must be fav to mgmt to get one). No body cares about work life balance (coz they are paying you well), make you do the same work even after 10years in the same company (zero skill development).
