Great learning experience unfair performance assessment
Pros: PwC provided great experience by allowing me to explore various FS industries (banking, asset management, stockbroking), types of engagements regular audits, compliance plan review, SOC 1 reporting, SOX controls testing and consultancy type jobs. It provided exposure to new standards, AASB 15, 9 and 16. It encourages to perform some activities within people and firm space, such as for example sign-up and deliver volunteering engagements.
Work life balance is generally better compared to other Big 4 companies this is mainly driven by high focus on efficiency.
Cons: Below market compensation and difficult at times biased performance appraisal. Although assessment is performed based on various criteria including technical skills, project management, business acumen and etc, management tends to appreciate communication skills (more specifically ability to promote additional services to clients). Promotion process tends to be biased and discriminatory towards asians (indians, chinese and other minorities) with preference always given to british, aussie, americans and canadians.
