Company: PwC

Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Risk Associate
Pros: good benefits provided by mainstream advisory firms
Cons: Horrible managers/partners if you're unlucky to be staffed in a team that prides itself on playing right with its dirty politics. The partner chose the teammates who 'face timed' and flattered, and placed them on his team as a result of favoritism. Some managers he placed on the team were incompetent, yet enjoyed pushing all responsibilities onto the junior level staff. Come on, holding upper leadership means shouldering more responsibilities, not pushing your own fault onto the junior staff! What kind of leadership is that?! Not to mention, your partners even would tell you that the first thing you needed to do to succeed in this role was to 'make us happy' and 'make us feel like heroes'. What an eye-opening experience! PwC is going downhill, just look at recent scandals related to its ethics practice, not to mention the joke with its Oscar envelope!
