Nothing I did not like anything. This big4 does not have any benefits. they just want machines to work around the clock.

Dislikes

Management...too much politics even if you are a senior associate managers will make a ruckus and put the blame on you to save themselves Pay is not that good compare to other big4 Work is also not that good they pretends they have the best tools but none of them works for what it is created and they will start creating another one with half or not working tools because of this they say you should not charge time as we have tools but all the work is done by human manually Culture which I have never seen in PWC. The team members don't even know each other. Working hours well you don't have any you work around the clock and sleep in between for 3-4 hours. Let's say that you had a deadline and you worked till 5-6 in the morning. The loving manager will want you to attend the 9:30 daily call even if you are asleep after doing the work he wanted and then get angry when you don't attend. That level petty people works here

Good work culture , great team, communicative.

Dislikes

Compensation package - CTC . Company should really improve on the CTC part . They should pay/ retain employees how much they actually deserve rather than going by the average standard market hike.

Likes

... locations. Felt Quality and class in Company's Culture. Great Deployment leads. Liked the pay structure, Rewards Central and shift allowances. Liked the Company events like IGNITE.

Dislikes

Did not like the Appraisal process over there. Project assignment process is unclear. Felt unprofessionalism in HR talks. Did not feel job security.

Likes

Company policies are quite good and focussed towards employees; if you perform well your job is secured; teammates are helpful and friendly, management is transparent.

Dislikes

No work life balance, salary is too less considering the work pressure, policies are there in place but are not implemented, if one opts for some development course then he/she is required to complete it outside of office hours

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.
