Hello! I recently applied for a Travel Procurement Senior Manager role at PwC (role is in NYC and I’m not NYC-based but I believe certain roles can be primarily remote). I have 5+ years of experience in this field and the description/company culture seem like a perfect match to what I’m looking for. Are there any fish from PwC and/or their talent acquisition team that can provide a reference post-submission and insight on the hiring process? Thanks!!

Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

I left a top 15 firm and let it all out on my exit interview and also on the questionnaire that was submitted onto the portal. I hated the managing partner who is full of himself (nobody did; other partners disliked the guy. Senior managers and down hated the guy. Seniors and associates were quitting because of him). I let it out.
A few days after I left I got a LinkedIn request from the firm’s national audit leader, which was odd to me at that point as I never really interacted with him before and my LinkedIn profile was viewed by the firm’s lead HR rep. 2 months after that, the managing partner “left” for another firm (he was pushed out). He also “unfriended” me on LinkedIn haha.
So if you know you’re gonna leave and never come back, go ahead and tell them what the issue was. It may save your friends lol.
And I know that partner lurks in this app. F you JR!!
I wouldn’t dox someone like that. I wouldn’t stoop down his level of pettiness by identifying even only his first name. He was a jerk and a shady dude; I’m sure Jeff is making the people at his new firm miserable.
just go quietly. at the end of the day, anything you say won’t implemented or changed and that way you leave on good terms.
Just go, b/c they really just don’t care - HR is only listening for potential lawsuits against the company, and partners just checking to make sure you don’t walk out w clients.
I left the KPMG TAS practice and laid it all out and named names in an “anonymous” HR survey. A week later I got calls from multiple directors in the practice asking why I called everyone out in my exit interview. My advice: keep it professional and exit gracefully. As much as you want to burn the place down and call out the partners that made your life miserable, nothing is going to change and your bridges will be forever burned.
I did air out my grievances but kept it professional and made sure to highlight all the good team members as well. There was plenty of unspoken feedback across the manager/director level as well as my staff and seniors that I could freely collect and pass to the partners that will hopefully see working conditions improve a little...
I would heed the advice of kpmg p. Just to prove my point, I posted a comment about big four senior making $107. While my OP was grammatically not sound, due to talk to text and running to the subway, LOL, you should read what the manager1 posted.
Clearly, they inferred from a basic inquiry that I had a "chip on my shoulder" and that I shouldn't even apply if "I'm afraid i'm going to fail" and that I was "insecure".
