PwC reviews

Pay- there are pay bands and cohorts so if you type out in your cohort you will not get a raise unless you get promoted. The bonus is not too good. If you get a excellent rating (move heaven & earth) you will get 20%. A meets expectaction your bonus will be 4%. The partners are the ones that make the real money here. People will top out at Sr. Mgr and your pay wont go past 250k There is a expecation of overtime hours depending on your level that could mean an extra 10hrs a week as a minimum among the other things your looked at for. There is really no much diversity among the leadership here. I think we had 260 new partner and 10 were black which is a representation of what the firm really looks like. We are pitted against our peers which makes the firm look good cause everyone wants to look great to the partners but that makes having an actual life hard. Most people have to take sabbatical to really get some R&R.

The study first scheme is incredibly stressful and life-dominating. Also you don't feel part of the company for the first 6 months because you have no client work. You have to really LOVE audit and accountancy to succeed Incredibly long hours in busy seasons (period dependent upon department); 14 hours+ Negative feedback about study first has been discarded and was never acted upon Real pressure to be a competent auditor, even on your 1st engagement
