It has been great experience working in PwC India for last 2 years. Overall work culture, job satisfaction and quality of work is really good. Also everyone is very supportive whenever needed. Medical Insurance policy is great though copay is raised to 15% from this year. Hybrid work policy is another key aspects here.

Dislikes

...s for learn things as work pressure remains constant and high most of the times. Also compensation wise, PwC is renowned but unfortunately last year hike percentage was very bad. Hope this will improve from the coming years.

Salary and benefits. Although the yearly bonus is not even 10 percent.

Dislikes

No work life balance. It is an untold expectation to work overtime. For operations people, be ware, they keep you on-call for 26 weeks out of the 52 in a year. And DO NOT PAY anything extra to Indian employees.
