PwC reviews

A lot of the work we do is quite waffly/bollox. Wonder if we are value for money for our clients often.

Wow, where to start. Most people - at least the staff and jr. managers - are unhappy and ready to quit. 75% of auditing is so boring its painful, so this is no surprise. huge expectations with vague metrics - you work in a 'high performance/high reward' culture, but you are benchmarked against your peers at YE, so high performing is defined by how much the next guy/gal performed. In short, your performance rating is random and you have only the slightest of ideas of how you'll be rated. oh yeah, and if everyone did 2 chartity events and you did 1 because you had to work late, oh well. you lose. Compensation is deadful, but experience is part of the pay check. You will work with impressive clients and specialists and people who really know their stuff - that sort of makes up for the crappy salary . Sort of. - once it doesn't, time to go. Seems as though associate to sr. associate promotions are all screwed up this year, so staff is angry and unsure of what to expect. i really think when the economy picks up, pwc is going is lose people.
