Don't know why my entire team is frustrated at work life in PwC AC Kolkata. Is it because of any of the following?
1) The very late appraisal process in PwC AC Kolkata
2) Not much expectations from appraisal and bonus (based on experience of existing employees.)
3) Other big 4s are giving much better hikes compared to PwC.
4) Work timings and rewards are not commensurate.
5) Any other reason.
Please give your thoughts if similar is the situation in your team.

I can understand pay scale is not on par with ey and deloitte.
I am in Assurance service line. Work life depends very specifically on team and clients that a particular team have.
We had very busy time from Feb to may. 12-15 hours each day with Saturday working.
But in our team average chargeability for everyone was around 50 hours for june whole month.
And July to September is also going to be chill.
So work life balance is pretty much sorted.
I know compensation is not good and rewards are pathetic too. But you get a good offer letter and if you are worth retaining pwc will give counter offer. Otherwise you can leave for better offer anyway.
Sadly this is how it works in big 4. Will have to shift for better compensation.
Good luck.

I am feeling the same these days and not able to decide whether sdc experience of 1 year will help me getting any better job or I have just wasted one year here

Pay is pathetic. That is my reason of resigning. Deloitte gave hikes by May 27 and at AC, forget matching comp, they dont have decency to let us know about hikes.

Especially at Kolkata, its the worst. Paying us thinking we all live and work at Bangladesh.

You are comparing yourself with best & feeling bad.

Nothing worse than GDS where EY getting closed in June, ratings & bonus getting communicated 2 months after & hikes being informed & effective only 3 months later post closing of FY without any arrears being paid. Nothing can be more pathetic than this 😒

Definitely not, I'm with PwC the WLB is LIT here. I like fringe benefits here. Rewards and Recognition and pay are on par with other Big 4s. These 3 I didn't see much in Deloitte.

Regarding EY, not much in WLB and fringe benefits but growth is good.

KPMG out of the syllabus.

Also it depends on the service line and your team. I just had less than 50 client hours last month.

I belong to the Advisory LoS. Joined in Jan, and got low balled CTC (I was underpaid in my previous org and PwC would only agree for a certain hike% on switching). With 3YoE I’m getting 9.5LPA at SA1. I know for a fact that my teammates are paid more.
Apart from the pay not being at par with others, the quality of work is substandard I feel. During the interview, I was told of all the great projects I can expect but here I’m mostly doing menial market scan that even a college student could do. Absolute misalignment in terms of work expectations, when brought up to the manager, the usual explanation is ‘nO WoRk is sMaLL’. I understand that even they can’t do much about the kind of work we get but the least they can do is put our skillsets forward to the ET so we can help with larger and more imp share of work.
I have absolutely no expectations with the bonus too.
The only positive thing is the WLB, absolutely amazing (maybe coz there’s barely any intellectually stimulating work 😂)
People… share your thoughts?

Non-tech consulting

The major reason could be lack of quality work and poor leadership. But now Hari is trying hard to transform the way ACs work. He is trying to make it at par with EY GDS/Deloitte USI, but unfortunately this is going to take ample time 5-6 yrs or more.
