I made the switch —— PwC has better tech by far, obviously no “unlimited” “PTO”, I found the folks to be slightly high caliber in my practice but that’s gonna be practice by practice & office by office.


Poster above mentioned Gsuite, I actually prefer it.

Lmk if you need a referral

Depends on each practice, of course. I personally like the people at PwC better, some of the tech is miles better, while some is not.
From my - albeit limited - sample size in TC, here’s what I observed. YMMV.
Partners at PwC are a lot more “human” and approachable than EY.
Directors at PwC are miles ahead of EY’s Sr Mgrs (ok this is more of a self pat).
Cloud Tech at PwC is (was?) ridiculously behind the times. Challenged legacy partners didn’t know how to sell. We recently brought a large group of experts over from EY but I haven’t seen them deliver much other than talk well. Time will tell.
HR and Demand in general better at PwC.
Growth - if you’re connected well - is faster at EY.
Delivery capability is a wash.

Again, YMMV. Small sample size so take it for what it’s worth.

Am I the only one who actually is benefiting from unlimited PTO? Apparently I've used 17 vacation days

Ya nah bro. When you add holiday + 2 year @ PwC — you have 37 days a year to use. 22 of those would be paid out if accrued. You are getting played

I went EY > external > PwC.

1. G suite - i love it. Obviously this is a preference thing but the way google sheets work for example is really useful. Overall great

2. Resources, firm info, and just everything seems more organized

3. Technology is hands down better

Dm me for referral

Partner process is much different at PwC. In reality, it’s very comparable and I’d say it has more to do with how much you enjoy the people you work with. Personally, I have nothing but love for both firms.
