PwC Employee Reviews & Ratings

They are still getting over the tax scandal and you can tell it’s a bit directionless at the top

- Busy season hours aren't great, it seems like we are slightly understaffed and it begins to show during our busiest months. - Some individuals are promoted to the next level a bit early, not allowing them to develop fully which in turn has negative impacts on team productivity and work product. - Similar to every firm, you will run into some managers and higher ups who micro-manage. There is no way to review higher ups, only to review people lower than you in the management structure so there is nobody giving feedback to these people over their management styles.

Management sees associates as disposable. We lost 75% of our associates to quitting during my short <2 year tenure. Management encourages competition between associates (was directly told that I should be competing with other associates). One of the senior managers I worked with had some serious anger issues and took it out on associates - he apologized for this once but still pretty uncomfortable otherwise. Managers assume you know everything and some get frustrated when you say you don't know how to do something even though you've never been trained on it before. You also get paid less than your peers who went straight to doing finance at tech companies. You also get less benefits and perks. Although the exit ops are generally good (multiple recruiters were reaching out to me and that's how I got my new job), you can get pigeon-holed into valuations / accounting type jobs if you stay too long. Sometimes you work crazy long hours (18 hour days) and sometimes it feels like the work is meaningless. Sometimes the opposite happens and there is no work to do and you only have 2 hours of work per day -> this leads to your utilization score going below the threshold which is bad for your bonus / promotions. Sometimes budgets are super tight on projects and you get in trouble for actually billing all the hours you work. Tons of monotonous boring admin work. Associate role will likely be automated by AI and become obsolete. Huge push to use 'acceleration centers' (India and Argentina employees) more and more to cut costs. There's a bunch of other issues I can list but you get the idea. Moving to a new job has shown me what it's like to work somewhere where management actually cares about younger employees.

Very bad work life balance (may vary by team), you are expected to work over 100 hours per week during busy season and constantly work beyond the hours even during non-busy season Toxic working culture, management expects you to sacrifice as much as you can for the team while refusing to give credit for your work

progression or promotion delays for QA

• Design maturity varies: Not all teams or clients have a strong understanding of design. You may need to advocate for design practices and educate stakeholders more often than not. • Fast-paced delivery cycles: Due to tight deadlines and policy timelines, some projects lean more toward execution than research or iteration. • Hierarchy and approvals: Government projects can be bureaucratic. Design decisions often go through multiple layers of approval, which can be slow or dilute the original vision. • Less focus on cutting-edge tools: While the work is impactful, it’s not always at the forefront of design innovation or trends. If you’re looking for motion design, 3D, or experimental UI work, this may not be the space.
