Pros

Career acceleration, good learning experience.

Cons

My girlfriend worked there for 3 years, I've known some others who have worked at the big 4 (ey deloitte and kpmg) and my impression is that pwc is the biggest meat grinder of them all - or at least the big tech clients in San Diego. Busy seasons are consistent 9am-midnight plus work on weekends. Filing is similar work times: This week my girlfriend worked 9am-2am Monday, 9am-midnight in office Tuesday, and will be working similar shifts the rest of the week. The anxiety, depression, and sleepless nights this company will bring must truly be an inherent internal objective. This kind of abhorrent work life balance is shared for all positions: associate through partner. The carrot-on-a-stick isn't worth it and I sincerely hope this review gives those considering working here a new found interest in the other big four, or towards public or finance as an alternative for your mental health.

Pros

Holiday Vacation Extended holidays Mid year firm wise hike

Cons

Full of white people at top level management. Unfair selection process. Referred someone for Talent acquisition opening who has relevant experience but resume got rejected. A gym trainer with no relevant experience got selected for the same. What a scam! Only white gets promoted every year. No 360 degree review process. So can’t complain about your top hierarchy.

PwC Nexus - Awful company to work for - Don't apply - full of bullies

Senior associate

Business Outlook

Pros

No pros at all, only the name

Cons

Been waiting to write this for a long time, if you are applying to Nexus DON'T DO IT, run away to another place. Or show the offer letter to get job at a better place. It was complete service centre disaster. You are bullied all day long. As a senior associate you don't get to eat, sleep and breathe. Every Manager in UK bullies you to complete their cash/PPE/AP/AR job, your own line manager bullies you. They don't let you get exam qualified here. Paltry pay is for acting like a manager but doing all the dirty work nobody wants to do and how well you bully others. Complete toxic environment, where they don't really let you transfer departments as it is NOT actually PwC. If you are under resourcing/other departments you are bullied more. No time for anyone here, you are just zombies that they suck the life out of trying to make you a money generating slave.
