Pros

Populistic actions (e.g. parties, events, lunches, etc.) which some of the naive juniors take for granted... and get brain-washed. This company is cashcow... it will undertake any business activity that brings money for the least effort and risk, and then, once it stops being profitable, it will shift right to the next profitable one.

Cons

Promotion is based on obsequiousness, cheating, deception, falsehood and a lot of politics... Skilled consultants (e.g. juniors, seniors) get nonsense reasons for not getting the well-deserved promotions. PwC actually needs skilled people to remain on low positions just to keep low hourly rate for the firm's profits. Very often, managers take the credit of theam members' good work instead of recognizing the merits of those who actually did the job and acclain themselves subject matter experts, when in fact they only scratch the surface of that specific matter. Tully skilled people are not involved in projects from the very beginning, but rather when things start getting messy in the project and there is high risk that customers might be unsatisfied...

Nothing to say best 1) Cab facility is good 2) Shift allowance is good comparative to other companies.

Cons

All are cons only 1) For each and every thing you need to fill Googleform. 2) After sending the time sheet status also they will follow you and disturb your work. 3)Lot of politics from managers(Most of them were from Bearing point) They think they are running the from SDC Bangalore 4)No Work Life balance 5)They will follow the goals whatever set by US PwC. 6)All projects will come from US PwC only.

Pros

When I signed up for the Tampa SDC, I was told there would be plenty of training and opportunities. So far, only the training part was true. The associates are all hired contract to start, and supervisors/seniors force rank the associates. Unfortunately, all that initial talk of hiring people fulltime turns out to be a sham: PwC doesn't rank you based on how hard you work or how motivated you are...They hire you based on "fit"...whether people like you. Of the associates that came to the SDC, only a few truly got fulltime, and of those even fewer will get professional opportunities. It's not what you know, it's who you know. It makes sense to come here if you're that perfect fit: You just finished your masters or college degree, don't have much work experience, and are looking for a potential career start in accounting. If you're older or experienced, buyer beware.

Cons

As someone who has a masters in accounting, work experience in private accounting, and some work experience in public accounting prior to joining PwC, obviously my work quality was very high. I showed great leadership and tried to foster relationships. Unfortunately, ultimately none of that mattered, and fulltime offers were given to young individuals who never took initiative. Clearly, what PwC REALLY wants are the soldiers to fit their business model. When upper management gives speeches about "hiring the best and the brightest" that isn't the truth at all. If you're that fit, it makes sense; if not, then no amount of quality work, speed, relationships, work ethic, or leadership will matter <- You WILL get thrown under the bus.
