PwC reviews

This is a very racist environment where you get treated very badly based on the colour of your skin and what language you speak. The Apartheid regime is still very much alive in PwC Waterfall, and the levels of inequality are extremely high. Employees in lower positions are mistreated and disrespected as if they were not even people.

too many kool-aid drinking rat racers....you'll know quickly if you're one of them. HR and management constantly put too much focus on performance reviews and working towards next promotion. Everything you do is for the "snapshot review". luckily I did not travel, but felt so bad for the consultants spending years away from friends and their families...precious years lost for them. (you can get put on a project in nowhere-America and be living in a Hampton Inn for the next 2 years, eating at applebees everynight! ...A director's fiance called off their wedding over his travel schedule while I was there. ) to move up to Manager and beyond you will need to be "all-in"...literally give up your life for the company + do plenty of extra activities/initiatives + have a great personality + socialize after hours with the partners (many of whom are single, divorced, empty-nesters or honestly don't like going home to their partners). Partners act like they are GOD...and staff continue to treat them like god. Never seen such old school hierarchy attitude when it comes to this. So much ass-kissing, and they aren't the least bit embarrassed to indulge in it. Hard to keep a sense of community at the firm, so many people, so much turnover, everyone is on different projects....you can feel like just a "number" in a sea.
