PwC reviews

Expect long hours with below average compensation. There is no 401k matching, slightly below average medical coverage and RBAP is a joke considering the majority of employees are burnt out and leave by their 2nd and 3rd years. Being more capable than your peers results in much longer hours & pressure with minimal compensation increases. I worked a couple hundred more overtime hours than my peers and was highly favored by my management, but only received a standard pay increase and roughly $1k more in bonuses than my peers. The firm advertises "Work-Life Balance" and "Partners That Care" very aggressively to its staff, but it is far from the truth. All work-life balance initiatives always have a caveat of "unless there's a business need." Unfortunately, there is ALWAYS a business need to work longer hours, fly home on Friday evening (instead of Thursday) or not attend "fun" or "community service" days. As for partners, employees are nothing more than a number- they do not want high turnover rates in their practice as it affects their bonuses and add costs to train a new employee. As long as you do not affect sales, all staff can be considered highly replaceable- if you quit, there will be hundreds of other people just as capable waiting to get a chance to get into the firm. Thus, it's very understandable that partners do not care about their staff.
