Hi,
Data and analytics opportunities in Assurance Service Line are limited to be honest. I joined as an Associate 2 in DAT sub service line in Assurance Service line. The team was supposed to be a data and analytics team, but unfortunately in the name of data and analytics, heavy documentation was the only thing people used to do. The team also focused on converting PDFs and testing. So, all in all there were hardly any development related projects. I was tagged to Australia territory at the time of joining and I saw people tagged to US doing extremely low quality work as described above in the name of Data and Analytics. Australia territory itself required Alteryx workflows to be run and output be generated. Very limited scope for scratch development or any development at all. Sometimes people had to prepare documentation for tools that they were not even familiar with. In my honest opinion please go through your job description carefully and see if any mention of development is present. If not, then please do not consider joining PwC Assurance SL. You are going to regret it. Data and Analytics projects are also heavily dependent on which territory you are tagged to. I have heard from friends that people joining Advisory/ Consulting are also made to work on documentation. The interviewers here rope in poor developers with the ruse of data and analytics related opportunities and when they actually join they are forced to document the same tools developed by onshore teams. In my honest opinion, if you have the option of joining elsewhere then please do as environment here at PwC for Data and Analytics professionals is not at all conducive for learning. You might even forget what you already know.
