PwC reviews

If you are a experienced Infrastructure practitioner from any industry that is accustomed to "accomplishing something" be very wary about the transition to consulting at PwC or anywhere. "Advisory" solutions are a collection of obvious platitudes cloaked in non committal language and regurgitated project deliverables that are passed around with an "insert your client's name here" approach that is more akin to an informal horse trading exercise than a formal delivery methodology. At PwC, Director level resources are sales people that find and sell engagements. More often than not, the statement of work is half baked and promises some percentage of advice and/or deliverables that require skills that you don't have or do not exist elsewhere within the practice. As a Manager tasked with delivering engagements, you will invariably find the Director who sold the engagement too busy selling the next one, to assist in any meaningful way. An actual example of advice provided me in a situation such as this? "I have a call with a client, Google it"

Pay is below market (for the talent the group recruits). Very high turnover. Considered inferior to sell-side.
