How is the Operations Consulting practice at PWC? Specifically in Pharma and Life Sciences and was contacted by a recruiter for a Senior Associate role. Expected comp and practice culture?

There’s some good people in that practice, but I can definitely name a handful of toxic individuals and Partners who make it the worst. FWIW, I never worked in this practice nor at PwC, but my competing firm worked very closely with them on a multi-year project with same client. I saw and heard everything on that side. It’s the reason why I’ll never want to work at PwC bc Of my experience and bc I’ll likely get aligned to this part of the business.

Toxic in what way

Former coworker who went there and exited fairly quickly, told me it was completely toxic.

I tend to believe them but I have no firsthand experience.

I like the people in that practice

It’s considered very solid in the PLS Ops arena

Hello!
I’m a senior graphic designer with close to a decade in the industry with some agency experience. I’m wanting to dive into more of a surface pattern design role and wanted to know if anyone knows or has any leads for any hybrid roles in/surrounding Orange County, CA or fully remote! I have a portfolio that I can share as well.

I really don’t see many of these on linked in so I figured it’s best to speak to someone who works with or is in this type of role

Thank you!!

Has anyone left to go to a startup/early stage company? I’m interviewing for a role I’m excited about at a company that is aligned with my values and the chance to do finance and operations (I’m in audit, new senior). I’m nervous about making the leap from big 4 with an established culture and generally stable employment to what is essentially a giant question mark. What are some good questions or indications to get a sense of if it’s a going to be a good opportunity or a total mess?
