PwC

Quality of Work

  • "It's a fantastic place to pick up some soft skills, as you are in contact with clients every day." -- Associate
  • "PwC encourages working in different departments, ranging from accounting to consultancy to operations." -- Associate
  • "The work can become repetitive very quickly and quite boring after a few months. This could be said of all accountancies. Make sure you don't get stuck in audit for too long and use it a stepping stone to move to industry or something you're passinate about." -- Associate

Culture

  • “Incredibly supportive workplace culture.” -- Associate
  • "On the whole, people are friendly and polite to each other and make the effort to get on with everyone else. You get to work with a wide varitey of people across the firm and in the large offices (like the London offices) the social side can be excellent." -- Junior Associate
  • "Excessive politics, especially at the higher level of the firm, takes away from the effectiveness of the work we do since everyone focuses on their individual progressinstead of working in a unified way for the client PwC as a whole." -- Senior Associate

Relations with Management

  • "The partnership structure means that you have to play along with the office politics; a good relationship with your partner will secure your career prospects." -- Director
  • "PwC is very political, specially at the more senior levels." -- Director
  • "Management take limited responsibility for staff development or happiness." -- Associate
  • "The firm needs stronger senior managers, directors and partners to develop junior staff." -- Senior Manager

Formal Training

  • "PwC provides excellent training, the first 2 years being a great learning curve." -- Associate

    • “There are people from many European countries, the US and Asia in the London office.” -- Junior Associate
    • “There are now more girls in the tax area than guys.” -- Associate
    • “For women and young mothers, PwC creates a lot of extra opportunities to network.” -- Director, Audit
