Achieving the ACCA qualification and following PwC methodology is paramount
Audit Senior (Current Employee), Blantyre –
Pros: exposure to diverse clients
Cons: long hours
A typical day is one spent planning for an audit engagement. I learnt about the factors that need to be considered before an audit assignment starts.

Management comprises of both young and old members of staff.

Co workers comprises of experienced and unexperienced hires all working towards achieving a common goal.

The hardest part of the job is being – more...  able to get time to go on leave.

The most enjoyable part is completing an assignment within the set deadline and getting a good review from the client. – less

"Great Place to Work"
Executive Assistant (Current Employee), Washington, DC –
Pros: always free lunches, special events for staff & families, etc.
Cons: i recently moved, so undesirable commute now.
Love the people I directly support. Definitely a place for anyone that wants longevity toward retirement. A lot of involvement with local community stuff and charities. Awesome amount of consecutive days (twice a year) for holiday breaks out of the office, when the company financially does well for the fiscal year.

Slave work and backsabing daily
Sr Tax Accountant (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Partners think they are God and you their slave.
I know of a coworker who got an offer at D&T when she approached PWC about quitting for the new position she was offered a contra offer to stay (more money and better work). She accepted and three months later nothing had been materialized. She got another offer at D&T and again before quitting the same – more...  PWC partner offered more money a better position. This shows how little management cares about people.
I knew a PWC manager in her 30' who desperately wanted to have a baby she finally got pregnant but needed to be in bed resting at home. When she requested her partner to take some time off the partner refused and she lost her baby.
Stay away from this big four, at least the NYC office. Try D&T or E&Y instead for my owned experience they are much better. – less

Discriminate
Advisory (Former Employee), Anywhere –
Pros: heard it might be a good company.
Cons: discriminate unprofessionally
Tough to get by HR, appears to discriminate fully qualified employees applying for positions where qualifications match without even a telephone interview.
