Got a potential offer from PwC. Every interview has been over the phone or a Skype voice call. I have long hair and a long beard, is that going to be an issue. Should I shave it all off...

Hell no. Pull your hair up in a bun and make sure your beard is trimmed nicely and you should be fine

No, just look like you groom yourself. There's nothing wrong with beards and all these days, just don't look like a mountain man who might have a squirrel living in your hair.

PriceWaterhouseCoopers may have, but 2019 PwC that is trying hard to be relevant in the digital age will not.

Also no way a company can discriminate as some don’t cut hair or shave for religious purposes.

OP - Im also in the same boat as you with a potential offer. All my interviews were calls as well!

Actually, the partners I work with would look down on this. I keep my beard just stubble and was told to shave it multiple times.
There’s no official way they can penalize you for your appearance, but there are a TON of unofficial ways.

I would either clean up or rethink PwC. (Which is a whole other conversation. Things are not good here, especially in Tech)

All of my account profile pictures are old pictures of me with a bald head and clean shaven, oversight on my part that they haven't been updated. Accenture doesn't have an issue with my beard or hair, I'm just wondering if PwC will.
