PwC reviews

The one issue I had was (and this might not be PwC-specific, so maybe even more valuable of a note for other aspiring consultants), that there was an intense pressure to find future projects, 3, 6, or even 9 months in the future. After having moved-on from consulting, over the past couple of years, I've seen others report this as well. ...They say you have to "take responsibility" for managing your future projects and research/apply to other partners so to find projects to maintain your utilization ratio. I didn't quite realize just how much of an issue this is. But, what can happen is that if you're not careful, and don't manage it way-out there in advance, you'll end up being assigned to a funky project and/or something that you can't totally slam-dunk. ...If that happens, you could find it more difficult for future gigs (which again you'll have to spend night & weekend time to dig-up), and eventually if you have more than 2 weeks of non-assigned time at some point, you're at risk.

They treat their government contractors horribly especially if they are not the Prime. They make them work extra hours so they can charge the prime more money. All they care about is PWC and not their own people. Everything is about making the business look good. The smallest mistake is made into a huge deal. Then there are the subcontractors, who they really treat like crap. They have to deal with all their crazy policies like making up time taken off (what's the point?) and no casual Fridays even if the Feds participate, but get none of their benefits like extra holidays. I will never work for a PwC contract or with a contract that is involved with PwC in any way ever again. It was so disheartening.
