PwC Employee Reviews & Ratings

Uncertainty in some salary details

If you are not close to a partner, and come in without prior consulting experience, but rather industry experience, it can be difficult to get pulled into projects.

Brutal working working hours. Some managers would entice you to join their engagement, and afterwards you'll find out how terrible their engagement is in terms of planning and resource management. But by then it'll be too late for you to leave. Lots of administrative work.

Project availability is less sometimes

Working as a recruiter at PwC, you're basically doing useless work. Hire someone, 2 people in that team quit. Hire 2 more, another one quits. The vacancies usually stayed open for the entire year. Also, to work internally at PwC, you are a COST and you are treated as such.

Poor Work Quality and Dysfunctional Management The work quality here is consistently poor. Despite claims of having employee-friendly policies, these are largely for show and rarely followed. Managers have almost no say. The lack of leadership and direction is alarming, making it clear that management has little control over what's happening on the ground. Crude HR Department The HR department is downright useless. They hold undeserved influence in the organization but contribute nothing of value. The HR Director lady is particularly incompetent, and from top to bottom, the entire HR team seems to pride themselves on being unresponsive, often taking days to answer simple queries, if they even bother to respond at all. Missed calls, delayed responses—it's a constant problem. It's clear they don't care about employees or the issues they face. Disappointing Policy Changes To add insult to injury, they've recently cut shift allowances . This company is quickly on its way to becoming another TCS or Wipro—big, not employee focused, and completely indifferent to its values.

Nothing from my end on cons

No cons as of now

More work, better pay range,

High workload, Salary, Long hours

- low salaries, as is customary of big 4s - difficult to move across practices, taboo-like unless you force their hand

Overworkload and no work life balances

overtime, high pressure, multiple tasks

Work Life Balance - Work throughout the weekdays and weekends sometimes. Could be non-existent unless you prioritise it well enough! Salary - Salary is just never enough. Currently least paid Big 4. Advice - if money is your priority. Pick a job in the industry not consulting.

Workload sometimes gets over whelming

- Office politics - Low pay - No work life balance

- Paid less than industry - Hours can be unpredictable and long

I cant think of any cons

No work life balance at all.

Have to go in 3 days a week Not alot of opportunities to progress

no career progression, no pay rise, no bonus.

Always talking about promotions and not getting it

Work life balance is not sustained

Sometimes get put on bad projects with terrible manangement

Pay is lower than market Promotion slump Limited growth prospects in short term

Long long hours of work which will always leave you in the edge and overwhealmed.

old fashion management. slow promotion.

Poor reviews/OKRs Salary way below market average

toxic people all around here

Service Based Company at the least

political, if you do not speak german you are out of every project, no meritocracy, romantic relationship among directors and managers

There are a lot of hours in busy season

- Heavy workloads, tight deadlines

performance evaluation could be more objective

It’s crazy how mid tier / boutique firms pay 20% - 30% more for the same roles at SM or below grades. Makes you question if it’s worth sticking it out.

Jobs too bad not enough staff for each job

1. HR is just namesake - No say in the company 2. Favoritism is atmost 3. High pressure job

The working hour is too long

Less growth opportunities and client exposure

Longer working hours especially during peak season

Risk Management compliances are bit lengthy in nature

Some managers do not respect your boundaries (e.g. personal life commitments) and expect you to OT and be available 24/7 even on weekends despite sickness or commitments beyond working hours. Your experience here really depends on which team you work with, which is not entirely within your control

Long working hours and low pay

very stressful and the hours are too long

None so far that I can think of

the demands of the job can be overwhelming. The workload is intense, with tight deadlines, high-performance expectations, and never-ending targets. Work-related stress is a constant factor, especially during peak periods. Achieving work-life balance can be difficult, as long hours and high-pressure environments are the norm rather than the exception.

Hard work is required during busy season

Slow work life and lot of stakeholder management

Some projects require long working hours and work over weekends
