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

4 years at PwC
Pros: A lot of young people, easy to make work friends.
Can transfer to other offices around the world (although this can be competitive)
Can transfer elsewhere in the UK
Opportunity to transfer within departments (after 3 years)
Cons: Long hours, no overtime pay, similar jobs expecting the same will pay 50-100% more. 

Generally poor training, left to work without being prepared for the tasks expected. No real development compared to other grad schemes, sold as a job with advanced responsibility - but in reality just huge volumes of admin tasks with reviewers who have responsibility. 

Likely to earn less than undertaking other similar roles in London as a University leaver. 

Poor attitude toward those with difficulties, PwC are the only firm (and possibly grad scheme) not to pay for things like dyslexia tests. 

Overall - outside London, well paid and reasonable hours, in London, underpaid and a below average grad job, with below average training, well below average hours and pay, and below average prospects on exit.
