What’s the culture like at PwC Houston audit? I am wanting to move to Houston since I got engaged. I am at EY NY now. However, from a friend who was a former associate that worked there, she had some horrible experiences in CIPS? I heard the people they have promoted to partner the last 3-5 years are particularly bad with people. I think she said she witness some awful behavior by a partner now in Mexico City so it might just be him and a couple of bad apples. Looking for some insight. Thanks

Stick to EY if you can. PwC Houston has VERY high turnover and, in my opinion, the talent is not what you might see compared to their other offices. They are widely known to be the easiest to get an offer from. That being said easier to advance and stand out.

Agree with partner issues as well. At an ethics training (pre-Covid) several partners showed up with alcohol saying how big of a “waste of time it was”. That being said I think there will be good and bad partners everywhere.

That’s fair, good luck OP. If staying at EY doesn’t work out you can always switch! Easier to go that route than taking a chance elsewhere and having to boomerang. I think you will like EY though, I think their Houston office is growing I believe they are either renovating or expanding their office. I have mostly heard good things.

Houston audit is definitely one of the busier assurance practices. I haven’t really seen any culture issues but I have a very narrow scope as I’ve only been here a couple years.

Thanks PwC 1. As long as the culture is friendly with patient and kind people who want to coach their team, I am ok with working long hours.

Assuming you're FS, your client pool is going to be pretty small (some jobs will be large though). Generally speaking, I'm not super impressed with the talent in that group but maybe my experience with them isn't representative. Long term, being in CIPS or EU&M is where your opportunities are going to be imo.

Agreed that the practice seems to busier than most but not too bad. If you navigate the general politics and produce you'll be fine.
