PwC Employer Reviews

If I had known how bad my other employers would be, I would have never left PwC! Professional, forward looking and full of opportunities

Great people, excellent culture. Actively engaged in diversity and corporate responsibility initiatives. Good place to work.

Challenging at times due to lack of scale and maturity in certain practice areas.

PwC is the place for the smart and talented, as well as the senior and experienced professionals.

Great corporate culture combined with a strive to develop the team and deliver real value to clients.

Lots of learning opportunities which provides exposure to many different industries.

A typical day starts with checking the mails as there are international clients that I deal with. After chalking out the to-do list after consulting the client and my team leader, I get on to work. As the team-members are of similar age, we get to learn tons while having fun. What I have learned in the job-role is how important are the IT security and – more... controls against every module in big organizations.I have learnt to work on asset-registers, risk treatment plans, SAP, Microsoft Excel, research and presentations for clients, how to take trainigs, give presentations,etc. Other than these, my workplace has helped me imbibe a lot of soft skills when it comes to interacting with clients or your team-members. The hardest part of my job would be to balance my personal life and work together as it was my first job ever. The fact that I had so many understanding and always helpful colleagues helped me enjoy my job the most! – less

Worked in the L&D department. Contract job. Seems to be a lot of contract jobs and not enough perm.

I was micro managed. Trained by a young rude person. Left the job after 6 weeks.

It all depends on who your manager is. I hear others are happy in different departments.

This was a Term Position.

This position required working a 12hr day and for most part a seven day work week, the atmosphere was all-consuming in order to fulfill tax deadlines.

Talented and amazing people make up PwC's staff.

Benefits are excellent. CA program for tax and audit associates the best among the big 4. Great place to work overall.

PWC introduced me to audit world and inspired me to become a CA. I truly want to gain a CA designation and devote myself to this area. The reason why I put one star for salary/benefits is that I was on an unpaid position and dont know all the details. However, I truly believe that PWC would have fives stars if I got a paid position

Compared to other PwC branches, our office was very small (Only 15 employees).
The workplace was fun but at the same time very productive.
I learnt the basics of auditing and due to the project I was assigned to learnt a lot about receivable analysis.
The management was perfect in motivating employees and was very supportive.

Great exposure to many industries.
Perform financial statements.
Audit.
International Accounting exposure.
Hardest part long hours.
Prestige.

I have learned on a lot :
Multi-tasking with different clients
Knowledgable and helpful workers
