Experience level: Junior

No Long Term Vision
Pros: -PwC starts as a great employer, they really sell to the new employee that they care about you because people are their only asset.
-You are assigned a coach and mine always looked out for my best interest and were a big advocate
-Other members of leadership within the firm served as mentors and provided insight that someone fairly new to the professional workforce may not have
Cons: -They over hire so that they can meet the immediate demands, but when they lose business they have no qualms about cutting people loose en masse
-Pay was OK, they do not give substantial increases, only way to make more is to go elsewhere. Also note that their healthcare benefits are HORRIBLE, hope you have a spouse that is employed elsewhere if you want good benefits.
-They have a rating process each year, ARC, it is biased and does not provide any transparency. For example, I once was downgraded because as an Associate I didn't win any proposals (yet I still got promoted at the same time)
-Project staffing is based on random bodies that are available and not any specific expertise, each project I was put on was totally unrelated to other projects I was previously on
-To be eligible for bonus or advancement you need to have between 350-400 hours of overtime logged in the year and that will equate to about $5-6 an hour
