... 1) The brand name which will help you bag better opportunities in the future. 2) Salary is better than most other companies (but still not good enough to compensate for the work load). 3) The work environment is pretty casual. 4) The interview process was easy. Cons- 1) There is NO work-life balance. You'll have to work almost all weekends (for 8 to 9 hours each day) in addition to weekdays. 2) Working hours stretch for almost 12 hours everyday. 3) They will hire you for something particular but then make you work on something where you have no expertise absolutely. 4) Leadership is poor. Your manager/director/lead won't help you out or ask if you're facing any issues while working. Whatever you do, is on you only. 5) There are no benefits like leave encashment, comp off, etc. so you'll be left absolutely drained and tired. 6) There are no learning opportunities. Although pwc encourages you to undertake trainings from Coursera, you won't get the time to complete anything of value.

Dislikes

Leaders are totally useless & inefficient when it comes to HR & admin Department. Shakir Iqbal, Pemanand, Karthi Palanikumar are pathetic employees and have no work ethics. Vikas Aggarwal - Director from the contingent Workforce management team is one the most incompetent leader I have seen. He regularly abuses his team & gives no growth. Should be fired immediately on compliance ground.

...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.

  • Salary - Good

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.
