Just started work at pwc
Pros: - good buddy system - was lost when I first joined but was matched with a buddy who helped me understand the performance metrics and how the company works 

- nice coaching culture, nice coach 

- flexwellness benefits - to purchase a range of items (e.g. health supplements, vision aid such as monitor etc to work from home during covid) 

-management shows care towards employees. Understand that they increased the flexwellness budget for staff (below assistant manager level) during covid period.  

- friendly colleagues; just ask (be tactful of course) 

- transparent promotion criteria 

- a lot of food at the pantry. Each level have their own fridge well stocked with chilled can drinks for all to take. Regularly refilled twice a day. 

- flexdress policy

- lots of technical training courses for new joiners.

- nice batch mates

- nice and affordable food at marmalade toast (cafe in office )

- work laptop is new and fast. No need bring charger to office because tables already have a charger there (tied to the table to prevent people from bringing them home of course. )
Cons: - no inflation adjustments for salary. 

- performance based promotion criteria is stressful for new staff who just step into the industry. 

- lack of communication of expectation on jobs to new staff sometimes by manager in charge

- sloppy handover, when client is reallocated over to other staff. Especially when the previous staff is leaving the firm. (But I don't think this is the fault of the company.)

- pressure on staff to develop digitalisation software without sufficient training in software knowledge. 

-cannot carry forward unutilized leave to next FY

- pay is low compared to MNCs
