Never join GNPS/G&PS implementation team
Pros: Brand Value
Flexible Working Hour
Salary/Bonus is good
Cons: Never join G&PS unit of Kolkata if you are a technical resource(Java,.net,QA,DBA etc).Your career will be ruined. Here they have one implementation team which is always in dearth of project. They will hire you at Kolkata but be ready to be posted at interior part of north east/bihar/tripura and stay at pathetic guest house once your project is over.This allocation will be irrespective of your skill/aspiration/location constraint.

They claim to be a CMM5 organization but the way they execute IT projects is not even CMM 3 standard.

Too much open door policy also backfires here. Bootlickers who always give company to senior executives during smoking/drinking becomes default candidate of 1 rating and promotion.

HR is non existent, all are puppets of partners. HR has no say in salary normalization/employee exploitation by manager. Basically people don't join PwC, they join under a specific partner. Till the time he decides to continue in PwC;his career growth will be decided based on his impression to the partner(which is non necessarily based on performance most of the times)

They harass employee during exit also.After employee resigns they call for exit discussion and make "Verbal" agreement with employee not to serve full notice if there is no project and agree to waive off shortfall.However, they dont communicate this to HR and HR gets impression that employee asked for early release at his own and they recover the shortfall amount from full and final settlement.
