PwC reviews

- Management has lack of accountability sometimes which falls on staff. For example, they will hold a staff accountable for low utilization, but book them on clients and projects that don't materialize. Unequal distribution of booking chargeable hours between staff, leading some to have insane amount of hours while others struggle with utilization because they are not assigned work. And utilization was a metric that was used to determine layoffs that happened, no matter how much they deny it was not a performance based layoff. -Some managers and above are sometimes too subjective during performance reviews, leading to inaccurate judgement. Before doing performance reviews, manager+ should look at the engagement broadly and factor in every team member's role and ask themselves if they had a role in poor performance. Whether that be lack of explaining, communication, or feedback. - Unfortunately lots of corporate office politics, so you have to be aware and be able to navigate what is going on, who favors who, etc. -Could use more diversity. - Unstable, meaning more layoffs could happen.

They hire people put them in all the teams. Even if they don't have requirement then also they put new people. Whereas there are teams where there is a lot of work and they need workforce. Most people are good but if you are unlucky enough then you will get a very selfish team. They treat freshers like complete imposters. It's not the company who's responsible but some people. The seniors should be responsible for guiding and teaching us. But they won't care about you and give you a tag of fresher and will ask whether you have experience in this. If not they won't give you. Most people are extremely good but again I had a bad experience. A fresher who's new to the corporate world gets no handholding, they have unrealistic expectations from freshers. If your team doesn't have work to assign you other teams will hand you over the most complex work which those teams can't do and you struggle at the end of the day. The training was not enough. A rigorous training was required but our mentors said you will learn on the job which is fine but the training wasn't good enough. For tax atleast it could have been way better.
