Pros and cons of working at PwC Australia

Pros

  • The people here are all genuine and open... I enjoy working in a high-performing environment where I feel that my skills are developing every day.

  • The support and growth opportunities from the team of individuals with different experiences.

  • From the day I started, I felt incredibly welcomed and supportive. No matter how high up in the company someone was they still would give me the time to help me with any questions I had. My team made work fun and enjoyable.

  • The office itself is great, especially the access to the cafe where free warm drinks are available before 12. The company has a flexible 'dress for your day' dress code, so people can often come in relaxing clothing, although many still prefer business wear

  • Our managers are highly accessible and make excellent mentors.

Cons

    • The working hours can be quite demanding

    • I think everyone, not just PwC, would like to be paid more for what they do and when compared with other graduate roles we are paid to a similar standard.

    • Time in grade is the main driver for promotion.

    • The pressure at times to meet deadlines that may not necessarily be that realistic and the billable hour demands.

    • There should be more formal training programs for technical skills here.
