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

Old, slow, boring
Pros: – My immediate team and line manager were some of the best I've ever worked with (poor leadership above that);
– Good for the CV;
– Decent compensation.
Cons: – A lot of old-school thinking;
– Real lack of diversity, both at Partner level (very few women and non-white men) and throughout the firm, despite how the company promotes itself;
– Internal politics affect your work. Sometimes like a schoolyard;
– Uninspiring CEO, Mark Averill;
– Cost cutting/restructuring in an age of innovation;
– Very uninspiring, very bland, very political. People afraid to be themselves. If you're attracted to the relatively fun, almost start-up-like environment PwC promotes itself as offering, this will drain you of energy;
– Sells itself on secondment and overseas opportunities, but these go unfulfilled for most people.
