Way too many hours
Tax Associate and Acting Senior (Former Employee) - Austin, Texas - February 1, 2023
PwC is always desparate for new people as their turnover rate is insanely high, around 25%. This is due to the insane amount of hours you will have to work. I had to work at least 60 hours a week from January to November and had to work multiple 80 hour weeks within that.
Pros
Free food sometimes. Can work remote
Cons
way too many hours and too much work

Great Internship
Risk Consultant Intern (Former Employee) - New York, NY - January 28, 2023
The only downside of this experience is how crowded the office is. Most interns do not even have a desk, and, at one time, we're asked to work from home only because our 10-people-shared desk has to be given to the audit team.

Some good people, some snakes
Associate (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - January 19, 2023
These people will look you in your face and tell you that you don’t have a thing to worry about and then turn around and tell you your performance is poor and that you’re no longer needed. Lol

1 star
Manager (Current Employee) - New Jersey - January 17, 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? Haven't figured that out in all the years i worked there. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Working with people who don't know what they don't know. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Highly stressful and surreal. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Total confusion and every running by the seat of their pants trying accomplish trial work instead of focusing on core business.

Flexible Work
Tough busy seasons but flexible work and great work related benefits such as a comprehensive health insurance plan and generous expenses for training. Fun atmosphere in office and great WFH balance.

Horrible place to work
Client Account Administrator (SAP) (Former Employee) - SF - January 8, 2023
Very unsupportive work environment and managent does not support you. Unless you enjoy working under extreme duress and with people who are manic capitalists stay away and stay sane.
Pros
Swank offices, all the toys as far as hi tech
Cons
The partners are hyper capitalistic jerks

It’s big 4
Experienced Associate (Former Employee) - New York, NY - January 3, 2023
Sometimes you work on great teams with amazing people and other times you want to curl up in a ball and cry the project is so bad. Great place to meet incredibly smart people.

Poor work life balance
Development Manager (Former Employee) - Dallas, TX - December 28, 2022
Heavy workload, as one moves higher in role. Poor work life balance, long hours during work days. Good party times they know how to party and enjoy at end of each sprint. Forefronts of tech, keen eyes on new techs, usage and implementations.
Pros
Good benefits and remuneration. Good team support. Tech savvy.
Cons
Poor work life balance. High work load.

Great place to gain experience
Capital Market and Accounting Consulting Associate (Former Employee) - Lagos - December 28, 2022

Cut-throat place where mostly everyone is in it for themselves.
Senior Associate (Former Employee) - New York, NY - December 20, 2022
Your "Relationship Leader" (manager) is almost non-existent for basic questions or guidance. Extremely clicky environment which leads to very high turnover. Leaving was the best thing to happen to me. No loyalty. Do not recommend.
Pros
remote work
Cons
no loyalty or guidance to set you up for success.

no work life balance
Senior Associate (Former Employee) - New York, NY - December 15, 2022
No work life balance. Only join if you are an all rounder and super-smart. Communication skills are very important. Most supervisors are good and helpful but some may be rude. Many a times you will be shared with different teams and will be expected to work in a totally different technology, subject-matter and would be expected to adapt and still do an excellent job
Pros
Benefits
Cons

Dynamic work environment

I really enjoyed my time with PwC on several engagement over the years. The company compensation based on my chosen employment arrangements were really attractive at the time.

The Best of the Big Four
Sr Manager (Current Employee) - North Carolina - December 6, 2022
Demanding culture but that's to be expected. I find the work rewarding and the flexibility managing my schedule has been great. I'm on the technology side and have seen the company make huge investments in the past three years.

PwC Private Assurance - Good for public accounting
Experienced Assurance Associate (Former Employee) - Philadelphia, PA - December 5, 2022
For public accounting (I've worked at both PwC and a mid-tier firm), PwC has great benefits for an accounting firm (excellent pay, good medical, lots of random gift cards and gifts on behalf of firm, great training). They have an average amount of PTO, but a very generous unlimited sick time. Average busy season was around 55 hours.
