What don't you like about working at PwC?
"For all of the long hours, difficult work, and demanding clients and managers whom we all deal with, it is very frustrating to feel as though we deal with all of these things and then are not appropriately recognized or compensated for our hard work. The pay is inadequate for the hours worked, and promotions are not merit-based, but merely a matter of sitting in your desk for a designated period of time."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I would do a better job of appropriately recognizing the accomplishments of my people and rewarding them appropriately."
