Pros

First of all, this review is not out of frustration or any anger. But just to inform future candidates that how in the name of big brand this people are cheating . The only pros of this company is the brand other than that there is nothing.

Cons

1.Only sales focused nothing for developers, even if you join as a developer you will be asked to do sales. 2.Outdated infrastructure, Salesforce is cutting edge technology in the world and the infrastructure they have is may be my grandfather’s time. 3.No learning experience except a browser google chrome you will not have any tool for productivity (for development). 4.No ambitions, the practice is 5 years old now, but except sales ambitions nothing has increased. 5. Very cheap, there expectations for client demos are very high but when it comes to investment they act very cheap. For silly things, they behave very cheap. 6. PwC India is largely a Tax, Audit related company. All the software, rules, trainings, even induction is designed keeping them in focus. In my induction, I had to go through compliance sessions which I have no clue that was a whole day. During the course you might sign or agree lot of different rules which you don’t understand. Same level of security is imposed on you. You are a IT person not dealing with anyone’s cash or accounts, then why you have to go through all that crap. I thought in 5 year they might have something for their practice but there is nothing. You have to complete mandatory training which has nothing to do with your profile or far related to your sector. There are more cons but this will be enough to make a judgement.

Pros

PwC is a great company. They care about their employees, and you truly are more than a number. Their maternity benefits are unbeaten (12-14 weeks fully paid, plus your vacation. The option to take up to 6 months off), we receive unlimited sick days, and 5 weeks of vacation, all of which are great for a working mom. They also offer the option of working a reduced schedule, so I have many coworkers who do not work Fridays. They are truly trying to promote flexibility, but the results are mixed depending on your client and the engagement team. My experience has shown that teams are very understanding of the need for flexibility, as long as you are willing to make up the hours at night or on the weekends. So flexibility may mean leaving at 4 for a soccer match, but signing back on at 8 and working until 11. Or working from home, but still putting in a 12 hour day. PwC only hires top performers. So as a whole, you work with very intelligent, capable, and hard working team members. You also are generally expected to perform at one level above your position, which pushes you to succeed and grow.

Cons

The biggest negative is the salary. As a manager with 8 years of experience and consistently high rankings in annual reviews, I am still not making 6 figures (close, but not quite there). I know in certain markets the pay may be higher, but in the smaller markets, it is pitiful, particularly for the hours we work and the level of responsibility and pressure that we manage. Additionally, PwC tends to have a sink or swim mentality. They advocate coaching and real-time feedback, however, when everyone is strapped for time, you only get so much attention from those above you. Therefore, it is common to feel like you are drowning and no one throws you a life raft until you are already under. This is a direct result of being consistently understaffed, and while I would like to say that this is a temporary concern, we have been severely understaffed in our market for the past 4 years. Also, our the cost of our health insurance is ridiculous. I pay $700 a month for my husband, myself, and one child. I could get better rates purchasing individual insurance on the health exchange. Long hours are the norm, however, that is generally understood by anyone coming to work in our industry. Taking vacation can be difficult, and the culture is such that you will continue to take phone calls and respond to emails on vacation. However, again, that is typical in our industry, and so I consider that less of a con, and more of a necessary evil.
