PwC reviews

The hours are outrageous and people at higher ranks truly do not know when to stop working. Especially in a WFH environment, people are seemingly encouraged to be available at all hours of the day, which typically results in me working 14 hours a day. I think the culture at PwC is quite work-obsessed and they truly do a terrible job of ACTUALLY letting you have work-life balance. I have been asked to help out while on vacation before, have been pinged over the weekend when I was not planning on working, and have generally just felt quite tossed around by my higher ups at PwC, with very little to say about it. I would also argue that the company does not care about my mental health whatsoever. I was falsely encouraged to be comfortable talking about mental health in the team setting, but after requesting time off for my mental health, I received feedback in my performance review knocking me down a few points because my team was impacted by my request to step away for a bit to regain some of my sanity. At PwC, I hear a lot of empty words preached to the firm about mental health, but at the end of the day all the firm cares about is sucking the most out of you as possible.

- Too much favoritism - If you blindly agree to each and everything your boss says without any complaint, then this is the best place to work. But you have to sell your soul, your family time and your health. - Work life balance is the worst and you don't get paid enough. - Limited and non transferable skills - You do quantitative, manual work and become obsolete. The more time you spend with these firm, the more it becomes difficult for you to move out.
