Hey fishes, I’ll be joining the risk assurance practice as an Associate 2 at PwC Kolkata. Just had some questions in my mind, please do answer!
1. What laptop can I expect (old/new, model)? What else is generally included in the starter pack?
2. I’ve heard PwC uses G-suite in place of MS office and its already giving me the chills. Is this true?
3. Can new joiners expect the $250/₹18k for the home office setup.
4. Coming from an India firm. What are the major changes that I can expect (wlb/pto)

1. I just got a HP elitebook, nothing else in starter pack as it was the beginning of covid with strict lockdown
2.yes, but you get a a hang of it. I had used MS office suite for 7 years and then switched to Gsuite.But not to worry as you will still have access to MS office tools as well, depending on client.
3.Yes
4. Load of difference in positive way when I switched from Capgemini to PwC AC. One example: on yearly basis 20sick/casual leaves + 22 privilege leaves+ Saturdays+ Sundays+ National Holidays/few State holidays+ firm shut down in July and December. So loads of time for yourself

Desperate for help from HR experts!

According to California Law, employers must pay unused vacation. Each year, we are given 33 days of holidays, no accrual. I was just laid off and my employer only paid half of my vacation because it’s mid year. Is this legal?

In hibob it says I had 32.5 days accrued.

He does grocery shopping, yard work, some cooking. Is it unfair if I repeatedly ask him to do more? 😡😡
