PwC reviews

Absolutely discriminatory appraisal and promotion system. Performance can be entirely based one person's view of you, and if they have something against you then they will try to convince everyone else you are not good enough. If you worked for one particular team in tax, you would never get promoted because the head of that team doesnt like to promote juniors. . The team director/ manager will then try to convince you that this is because your performance is not good enough when in reality you ARE performing well - year after year, they pass up the juniors in their team for promotions because they dont want to pay you a higher salary. The flipside of this is that those being promoted are getting a false sense of achievement, when in reality all thats getting them promoted is favoritism, not good hard work and client satisfaction.

- Very political annual reviews. If you're not one of the 5% management likes you're career is over there. Also you spend 40 hours making your file and in the end management spends 30 seconds reviewing it as their decisions are predetermined. - The work performed could be done by a 5th grader with basic knowledge of excel. This is not a banking group and not a management consulting group. If you want to do banking or consulting look elsewhere. - You have to perform hours of "handties" which are basically using a color pencil to check every number on a page with thousands of numbers on it. Require ZERO intelligence. - For half the year you work as hard as your iBanking friends and make half as much. - Annual bonuses are a JOKE. - The office moral is terrible. Every other week a coworker leaves and everyone else there is interviewing and trying to leave.
