All Indian Big 4s are worst places to work in terms of culture & pay. Be it D, P, K or EY.

Remember this golden rule - Growth (w.r.t pay) in the short term is more in offshore Big 4s - Deloitte USI, KPMG GLOBAL, EY GDS & Pwc AC. In the longer term Indian Big 4s are better only growth wise & learning wise(not culture)

But in the longer term you will become a partner in Indian Big 4s within 10-12 years provided you swim through all the toxic culture & travel & worst work life balance.

Moreover - biggest disadvantage in offshore Big 4s - since these are backend offices you hardly have client facing projects & only follow instructions from onshore units. Basically learning is minimum to nil. After 6-7 years when you try to switch it is very difficult. You have to switch from one backend firm to another backend. That is the only option. Going back to industry or even front end consulting is really challenging.

Now it depends on a person whats their priority - an easy going monotonous job with initially good pay & then stagnant career or, 10-12 years of absolutely challenging environment but huge benefits later!!!

You will not get both good pay & culture at the same time. You have to compromise on one for sure.

PwC AC can offer a better WLB and that's the only thing and that is also not very certain. Go for DI

Hello,

I will be joining PWC AC Bangalore in couple of weeks for SAP tech stack.
I am joining from a product based company. So wanted to know how we are assigned to projects. Will there be any client interviews. If yes will it be very tough? Do we get a say in the projects we can get to work or its usually assigned and we have to take it up.

Thank You.
