Company: PwC
Date: 2018-07-27
Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

High Stress Low Pay
Pros: Ample training opportunities
Exposure to Fortune 500 clients
Generally work with intelligent, capable people
Great IT and software
Looks good on resume, but I think Big4 is probably over-hyped at colleges
Cons: Hours are terrible inside and outside busy season. During busy season I had a month of 100 hour weeks, followed by 2 months of 80 hour weeks. My group also has 6/30 year ends where you put in 70 hour weeks for two months.
There's been higher-than-average turnover the last year, and associates are getting spread thin, and working longer hours
Pay is not good for the amount of hours and stress. My first two years' raises were less than 5% and bonuses are meager. Doesn't compete with industry pay
Commute is not good. Most of the clients (not including financial services) are about 1 hour drive from the office
Work/life balance is a meaningless buzzword at this company
401(k) takes I think 5 years to fully vest
