Pros

Other companies are impressed by the entry of "PWC" on your resume.

Cons

It's unfortunate that I have to say the things that I'm about to say however, I feel that it is important for folks to understand what they're getting themselves into. 1) I have several years of professional experience but until my experience at PWC, I had never seen so much overt discrimination - both racism and sexism. 2) There is no work/life balance. 3) You are seldom matched to an opportunity which fits your skill set. 4) Management is very random about communication, sincerity, and ethics.

Pros

Unfortunately, the only pro I can think of is the reputation of the company (Big 4 name). Besides that, there really aren't any positives to working here and it's sad people will give up years of their life to work here hoping to climb up this imaginary career ladder to get them to a "stable" or "better" future

Cons

I absolutely was disgusted with my entire time here. I left after a year but that was already too long and regret staying for a whole year. The training did nothing to prepare you for the workload and once the audit starts, many teams don't provide adequate on the job training or have time to answer questions adequately so you're stuck trying to understand everything on your own. People are impatient, busy, arrogant, and condescending which makes for a toxic environment. Compensation was also low and there was no work-life balance. People are constantly looking for other opportunities and someone quits every week. The only reason people stay is their "hope" of a better future. I'm in a much better place now that I left and am working for a company I absolutely love and adore so to those who are scared of leaving because the Big 4 poisons your mind into thinking you're committing career suicide, that is absolutely not true.

Pros

only the brand, nothing much else

Cons

1) dada didi culture prevails in Kolkata , too much office politics 2) Most partners are bengali so PwC India is like a small scale Kolkata company 3) Dont expect global work culture PwC India is an india firm and has nothing of global standards 4) Clients are limited and international assignments are only from PwC network firms 5) Very few projects and you will struggle to get billed for a client. 6) You are left to deal with everything on your own, they dont even know what is team work. 7) Nobody wants to help anybody, you are expected to do everything yourself without any motivation from managers. 8) As a new joiner you dont feel welcome 9) Job responsibility not clear managers are useless and non-technical. 10) They dont realise the potential of employees 11) Only emphasis is profit and they dont care about employee well being 12) You are held responsible for ensuring your billing and profitability they donot try to assign you any project 13) Whole company is full of unethical practices in project management, present incapable people as experts to the client. 14) No emphasis on any technology, people work like govt office just want to pass time and relax with no foresight.
