PwC Employee Reviews & Ratings

Very busy during the busy season

The work hours and the expectations

a lot of people , no downsides

toxic work culture, miserable with all the audit and sox work.

Long hours, demands are inconsistent at times

Work life balance may vary

A lot of pressure for exams

Breeds a very competitive environment by openly pitting peers against each other in open forum conversations about individuals performance. I believe this in attempt to improve transparency and fairness, but the reality the process extremely political. Although they work on a matrix reporting structure, the culture is extremely hierarchical and pushing back on impossible or unreasonable expectations or workloads is ‘encouraged’, but actually very frowned upon and feels like a big taboo / career suicide. Having said all that, I would go back in a heartbeat because the pros outweigh the cons. Nowhere’s perfect.

PwC worst toxic company I ever worked for. Negative gossiping is kind of normal thing for everyone here: they smile at your face but will sabotage you behind your back. And guess where it starts from? HR. Don’t expect any support on ethical issues here, because once you refer they blame it all on you without even trying to dig into the problem. Overwork is never paid, and salary is lower compared to the amount of work done. 24/7 slavery is expected from everyone here. Complete internal chaos under disguise of “building trust in society and solve important problems”. I’ve seen many really good consultants fired just because they’re not enough bootlickers. Non-core staff is treated as lower class here. The ARROGANCE is still striving well in this company despite of its long term attempts to get rid of this status. If you care of your mental state, don’t work there.

Long work hours Output depends on senior assigned

Underwhelming leadership from senior levels in the organisation

Long hours during peak periods

- Long hours - Weekend might not a "weekend"

The title says it all!

It’s a Big 4 so layoffs are always something to be mindful of

Very low Pay for amount of work and hours

staffing can be difficult especially on a smaller team

long working time, OT, no pay

Culture in S& is elitist - lack of social mobility Arrogant staff Massively varying culture between teams

Complicated peoples who are mostly morally corrupt, opportunistic, selfish and of backstabbing nature. But then again, thats what you get almost everywhere.

Nothing comes to mind at this time

It can get hectic but that is the nature of an advisory business, however there is ample support throughout the firm to ensure people are taken care of

No cons as such that come

Long hours during busy season

Work life balance in consulting is rough. Be prepared to pull late nights and deal with heavy workloads during the day.

Bad pay before qualification was complete

- Long hours for not enough pay

Relatively low salary, poor work-life balance

Higher management is not that much good in my department, they are not able pull good projects

lack of communication from upper management

Work volume, especially during busy season

Sometimes try implement things at very short notice

Always degrading people in front of everyone. No ethics and professionalism

Pay should be a higher, esepcially given the hors worked

Some of the leadership didn't really listen to concerns from juniors

leadership is not always supportive of you and will expect lot

Having to work in different geographical areas

Leadership has no clue what they are doing

Work-life balance is hard for the timeline set by the clients.

A lot of hierarchy in this firm

PwC can improve employee engagement at a broader firm level

Sales and Marketing is very much needed to survive in the firm at any level.

- Difficult promotion in Risk Services, some stuck at SA2 for many years cannot get promoted to Manager - Difficult risk management processes by RisQ and slow response time by RisQ. RisQ teams are difficult to reach and ghost you on Teams.

It depends on the team and the leadership

Nothing to mention much about

Cafeteria food should be discounted.

No bench scene- office politics

Long hours but could be worse

Intransparent communication from the leadership

Bad work-life balance, and a steep learning curve for new hires
