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

A company where people are simply billable resource and nothing more.
Pros: Peer group, peer group, peer group, brand name, good client exposure, high utilisation levels
Cons: PwC is not by any measure an employee-friendly company. You are not viewed as a person by the company, but an object that's billable. Every single aspect of your life at PwC depends on the partner that you are assigned to. The company bids projects at dirt cheap levels, levels I've not even heard companies like TCS, Wipro and Infy fall to. And this results in even more problems for trivial matters like expense reimbursement. Designations are allotted strictly based on the campus you're coming from and you will have to descend to the lowest level bargaining to get what you deserve. And that's the only way. I'm not sure if this is the same at all locations that the company is present in, but I can guarantee this for the Indian operations of the company, particularly in the Consulting division.
