PwC reviews

1. Partners are powerhouse - if your are not in their good books then either you dont exist or your life in pwc is short lived - a general trend in these companies is that people either stay 10-15 years or 2 years (first year default rating second year bad rating) 2. Big fours dont have bench - so you are supposed to work on 2 projects simultaneously with 100 % billing in each - minimum because you should be suprised to see people working on 5 projects at the same time - and I dont mean engagement - I mean full fledged development testing work 2. Partners are the powerhouse - and hence no process - I dont know why they have a human resource department because they are pretty much non existent at line level 3. You get to work on open source only - since buying products afftect project margins 4. If you travel onsite you will be given a daily per diem - accomodation and travel costs only - per-diem is so low you would eventually spend from your pocket if you smoke or drink 5. Rating charts goes to the partners - if you are on good books you get good ratings if you dont exist you get average if you are on bad books you get bad rating 6. rating 4 puts you in performance improvement program where you will be asked to bring in projects and revenues in a span of 2 months (manager onward everyone is fired in this manner) 7. No additional perks - travel is not provided - food is average and 50% subsidized 8 work life balance sucks - your clients will beg you to go to sleep and take a break/rest - but if you work on 5 projects sleep rest family kids are out of question 9. Not good for freshers - you will get training on floor - which in itself is a very bad concept

The list is endless. Here are few glances: 1. Entire firm works based on politics 2. Very less technical work. No career growth. 3. Unprofessional behaviour of the higher management. 4. No work life balance. 5. HRs are the pet dogs of Partners and Directors. 6. No onsite opportunity. 7. If you are good at buttering the managers and senior leaders, you can expect a decent increment. Otherwise..... 8. Involvement in multiple projects where everyone would expect you to work for at least 11-12 hours a day. 9. You have to take your work into your bedroom and the worst part is senior leaders encourage these. 10. They won't pay you any bonus if you are serving notice period. 11. I don't know how this bacame a brand and called as Big 4.... Rather it's Worst 4
