PwC reviews

I've been in bay area tech for many years and I've seen a lot of bad workplaces but perhaps none so awful as PwC. PwC is a well operationalized leach syphoning funds from struggling tech companies and grinding it's employees into collapse through malicious compliance and abusive management in a froth mouthed scramble for billable hours. Lets go over the key points: - Absurd work hours....working a 15,18 or even 24 hour day now and then is tolerable. Work hard play hard. Regularly working 48-72 hours without sleep or food because you have to be on calls none stop with someone somewhere in the world gets old fast. This isn't even for a major release or software development sometimes you kill yourself just so partner can see a deck before their morning coffee! On weekends? Better be on call to service the whims of the partner. Holidays? Who knows. Oh but its ok there's of "social" events that you will never actually have the bandwidth to attend. -Abusive management - Theres a high quality expectation and that's great but screaming and berating employees to tears over a missing comma in a 50 slide deck is absurd. Partner level management doesn't have leadership skills or any way incentivize performance, it's just a battle of who can yell the loudest. -Antiquated systems and processes - Payroll can't manage to pay you during your first month of employment. For semi monthly employees you may have to wait until your third pay period. Regardless of your finances going unpaid for a month is a joke and something I've never come across at companies small or large.

1.Worst thing is notice period time.I was blocked to a project after my resignation and my manager was telling to my partner that will extend my notice period(Didn't knew such ppl exists) 2.Even after 3 months i left, waiting to receive my FnF which they claim will be given by 45 days 3. Even on my LWD they threatened me to go for client place, else they won't approve my resignation on Workday! 4.They will do litmus test to check where we are going, If we lie our face will turn red and they will understand that we are going to other BIG 4( Dono my manager did it n he told this) 5.They promised me that they will consider my request about the compensation, I followed up many times but they don keep promises which they make. 6.HR's doesn't have any power, Its strictly partner based.
