Pros & Cons
the experience and knowledge you can gain on any given day, with so many opportunities to further your professional career.
Great team, great flexibility, great benefits.
The team is fantastic and incredibly supportive. The work is also diverse and interesting!
PwC cares for their employees heath and wellbeing and provides recharge days, gift packs (during lockdown), and a lot of social events which run throughout the year. They are adaptable to employee requests and if people want a transfer both domestic and internally they work hard to make that a reality.
Very inclusive culture, opportunities for advancement and participation in interesting projects .
Flexible working Caring colleagues Career development .
Being so broad in practice, It's hard to find a speciality or to focus a particular path, as you're expected to be broad in consulting.
Can't think of any.
Can work over time hours.
It can be challenging at first. Also, the workload changes according to your projects or depending on the season so you need to be prepared to have some longer days sometimes.
It is a fast pace - which is good to learn, but can be challenging at the start.
The learning curve is a little steep - especially learning how to do tasks. While there are learning modules, support from teammates and mentors, doing things/ completing tasks for the first few times by yourself is difficult because of uncertainty if the work is correct.

Career Prospects
Requirements needed for promotion are quite clear.
All projects go through an CSR process to ensure that they align to the company's values and support the community in terms of ESG, ethical sourcing, D&I and conflict of interest.
The culture both in and out of the office is the greatest I've ever experienced. The hierarchy does not affect the relationships that are built within the team. Everyone treats each other as equals. I have felt what a cooperative environment it is since day one.
My role enables me to have an impact on many areas of our society. My day-to-day responsibilities include analysing the technological system of a business for separation.
Dress code is very relaxed, good office space, clean, well maintained, well centred in the city and generally a good place to be. Hot desks and private rooms to work it too.
The main reason for me to join PwC was its upgrade skill culture, there a lot of software's that can evolve the way audit is done in a more efficient way, this includes using Halo Count and many more.
Flexibility is great, from working hours to the ability to work from home or the office as it suits you. This really helps with creating a healthy work/life balance!
There is a community within the firm that promotes green initiative and sustainable living. At a larger scale, the firm has committed to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
