Poor Culture - EPC
Pros: Decent benefits
Flexi work arrangements
Great teammates
Cons: Partner of Entrepreneurial Private Clients (EPC)
- Severe anger management issues (Consult yelling and explosions at employees on trivial matters, at times in front of clients)
- Racist 
- Condescending, talks down and bullies employees
- Shoots employees opinions and ideas down, calling them illogical, which discourages employees’ sharing of opinions, and then being called names when employees turned quiet
- Intentionally creates tension and competition amongst fellow colleagues
- Elitist, employs non-cookie cutter consultants to fill gaps in team but treats them poorly as they do not have the ideal “finance / accounting” background or did not come from “elite schools”
- Almost zero trust in employees

Culture
- Fear amongst all employees in the team, which restricts learning

Advice for anyone applying for a role in the EPC team: to consider applying to other departments in PwC. Not worth the unnecessary stress and mental toll.
