Houston, Tx office:
I worked at few offices and can say that PwC Houston has the worst, most toxic atmosphere I have ever experienced. 

White men club is an understatement. The overbearing masculine and sexist energy on the team is suffocating. As a woman you are constantly talked over, ignored and pushed aside. When I tried to raise the issue I was made to feel like the problem. 

People who move from other offices are given 0 support and expected to know everything about the new client, new team etc straight away. I asked for trainings or courses I could do in my own time but there were none. I had a number of friends move offices with EY and KPMG and they received a lot more logistical and financial support for the move and then trainings in the office.

My time at the Houston office was my worse at PwC which is a shame.
