We get the 4th and 5th of as paid holidays, then we are expected to use vacation or personal time for the 1-3. So the US firm has the whole “week off” but some see it as forced use of vacation. I like it because it gives my entire team a well-deserved break at the same time, and no one has to worry about emails coming in and interrupting the time off

Can confirm PwC is whole week, that said this is only the second year of this policy, and technically it is not confirmed by leadership until around January if I recall correctly. So in the event the firm was having a weak year I’d fully expect us to only get the day of off.

Last year was the first time we got the whole week. In previous years they’ve given an additional 1-2 days to make a long weekend. Source: just hit my 5 year anniversary

Interesting. Must be a fixed bid. Never faced this issue on T&E. Even with fixed price, this shit is not motivating. Just charge unassigned time or training.

No, just the day and if the client has the following day- forced PTO (Capgemini). I’ve heard PwC has the week off from a friend

We make every effort to fully shut down. Clients are told and it’s really been actual time off

Just the day but if it falls on the weekend they give either the work day before or after the holiday weekend

GT is off July 4th & 5th.

PwC has the whole week

Half day on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday off.
