Terrible workplace!
Pros: Only timings - You can come by 9.00 AM and leave by 5.30 PM
Cons: *This review s applicable of PWC Kolkata SDC only* If you're looking for Bangalore SDC, please ignore this.
Well, it's a huge list. 
I should start from HR department itself. They will call you and schedule your interview, which 80% of the time won't happen during the timeframe mentioned.
Even after clearing the interview, you'll have to wait literally for months and need to make follow-up calls atleast twice a week. Else forget about the offer. Please make a note to ask them to give each and every verbal offer they made in written or else you will end up listening that your understanding is incorrect.
Then comes to the induction. I never had such a horrible induction. It's like a week of school teaching literally about full form of PwC and SDC / Network territories. Also they show as if this is the best company in the world.
Then comes the office infra. Don't surprise if your ID cards are not working to OPEN GATES. Also you will see a lot of PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THIS DOOR stickers.
Cafeteria - For 700 employees, there are 2 cafeterias which are hardly 150sft each and food quality or quantity or taste is terrible. You will feel even a roadside slum food carts provide better food for the same price.
Technology - This place is still a decade back in terms of the laptops they provide. You will end-up seeing the Blue screen errors / OS corruptions / Application related issues atleast once in a week.
Work - You will work during busy season, extended busy season and then you will have to support other teams during non busy-season. Which means, throughout the year, you are expected to spend extra hours in office. If not, rating is effected.
People - Forget it. Unless you are a type of person who does buttering to managers, you will not have career here. Bengalis can survive here easily as this is a BENGALI company. You read it correct. PWC KSDC is not a MNC. It's just a Bengali firm and you will see them in all the top level management. Literally no one else. And yeah, the main thing is managers are capable of doing anything. They are the ones who can screw your life if they want irrespective of how strong you're technically. If they want to give you career, even if you don't know basics you'll get promotions easily.
