Bad burnouts - PwC culture in general

like

In Canada, it was “dissolved”. As a brand, S& is struggling against PwC, and the team has been unable to clearly differentiate it from its equivalent competing incumbents.

yeah i think S& leadership needs to get their heads out of their asses tbh, just either put some weight behind it or dissolve it

Depends on the team. The core corporate generalist group seems to have the more traditional MBB/T2 burnout culture.

The specialized groups have a similar culture to the PwC practice team they have conjoined with (that said, they go through a separate performance review which is true up or out, so if that's something you're concerned with, it is an added stressor)

They're peppered throughout the firm. Im not an expert in all our offerings, and don't know the new names post reoeg, but there where S& practioners in ops strategy, pricing and promotions, pretty sure there was a Tech strategy group, deals strategy was a part of deals platform not corporate strategy.

Super project dependent. I recently got off an 8 month turnaround where the first 8 weeks were 70 hours, the next 6 months were 50 hours
