Absolutely no growth in this firm. The office is losing clients and staff and have done nothing to recover except to lay off people. The office has over 23 empty work stations and 14 empty offices. The office is bleeding money and the raises and bonuses are well below average. The morale is extremely low and the partners have done nothing to stop the decline except micromanage the employees. The office manager is incompetent, petty and vindicative and blames the professional staff.

Asking for two of my friends. Age around 22. 1 has done B.Sc in Nursing. And the other has done B.Sc in Agriculture. Both have become hopeless into their respective fields after looking for job and not being able to fetch any better. They want to switch to IT. My question is can they do this if acquired sufficient skills! I mean irrespective of their background, will a company hire them as a intern or fresher? If it's possible, then kindly suggest. TIA. 🙏🏻

All folks who recently started with PwC. Had the HR reach out to you with regards to laptop and other onboarding info? I had reached out to them to ask if they had completed by background check since I couldnt see the process. They had said "it was completed and I should get an email confirmation". Nothing from them. Just wanted to confirm when I should expect to see the email, if any, about getting a laptop.
