Pros

If you are a masochist, this is the place for you!

Cons

PwC Toronto has an extremely toxic work environment. Specifically, within AWM practice: short staffing is severe and partners continue to push the remaining workers harder and harder to get audits done. As well, the company has no intention of fixing this, as they are trying to outsource all work to India. This has created a situation with below market average salaries and a terrible work life balance as management don't BELIEVE in their own senior associates and workers. The only people who stay at the firm are those tied to clawbacks (if firm paid for your education) or those who think they will get manager. PwC is a husk of its former self. In the past despite low salaries and long hours, there was talent and opportunities to learn. However, PwC Toronto is having significant issues keeping their talent which means that you often work with and FOR people who are dumber than you. If you do accept your offer, remember this review when you are sitting in the middle of busy season with 2 associates who do nothing while the manager/senior manager/partner chain of yelling berates you.

Pros

Exposure to interesting work and important clients

Cons

Toxic feedback culture - people often use this as a way to show how competent they are compared to those below them under the guise of “driving quality”, lack of appreciation for good work (eg never good enough even if your work exceeds clients’ expectations), rampant gaslighting - eg convincing you that you are to blame for not not working efficiently enough if you are working late dealing with an unmanageable workload to keep the pretense of work life balance. You are as big as your smallest error - even if the ones accusing you have made similar errors. This incentivizes people to be the first to give negative feedback at the first sign of trouble on a project. People are generally self interested and will not put themselves in any personal risk to do what is right or fair (with precious few exceptions) and, in any case, can turn their back on you at a moment’s notice depending on how the winds blow.

Pros

None I can think of

Cons

Where do I even start, this is the worst place ever to work. If you want to experience constant and continuous mental health breakdown and depression then by all means go work in this office. Everyone in this office is in therapy for depression. Your ability to progress is based on how well you can play office politics, you are compulsorily required to work ridiculous overtime with no pay or genuine appreciation from management and the entitlement management feels they have over your personal time is shocking! Working here you don’t get the real pwc experience which is very sad as they do not project the pwc brand in a good light. The people who work in other offices have a better experience than this office I would highly advise that if you want to really experience the pwc brand, avoid this office at all costs especially the audit division High attrition rate experienced in both minority group experienced hires and the locals Issues of racism in the office not being properly addressed and swept under the carpet I believe the partners and directors should be put on performance improvement plans as they obviously have a lot of development to do Your entire career will be at a standstill If you love your career, do not go to this office please
