Employees say:
"Great maternity leave benefits and phased return. The flexibility to continue pumping to feed my baby and to care for sick children makes being a full-time working mom possible."
Employees say:
"The trainings available, overall company culture (celebration of gender equality / LGBTQ+ rights, etc.) and network of firms/opportunities to collaborate and move within the organization is truly unique. There is much opportunity to have a successful, well-rounded career within this organization without ever having to leave."
Employees say:
"I think the combination of challenging environment of always learning, opportunities to grow and progress while also being a very supportive and teaming environment is very unique. This culture is key to our success in attracting and retaining top talent while delivering the best for our clients."
Employees say:
"PwC is an awesome place. We work long hours and deal with stressful clients, but you get to learn so much every day. I feel like I am always learning new things and growing as a professional. Second, in my experience, the harder you work, the more you are rewarded with opportunities, promotions, and financial incentives. Lastly, the flexibility is unmatched. I am able to work autonomously and own my schedule, and my management teams are flexible and understanding."
Employees say:
"I enjoy the flexibility in the hybrid model. PwC allows me to work when I want and where I want, which is more enjoyable than having strict hours and being forced into the office every day."
The consulting firm knows that achieving a healthy balance between work and life is crucial to employee success. That’s why twice a year, the entire Big Four firm shuts down for a full week, during which time all staff can rest and recharge. All employees are also eligible to apply for a 20%-pay leave of absence, when they can take up to 26 weeks off work while receiving 20% of their regular base salary.
As PwC U.S. incorporates generative AI into its operations, it has positioned itself as a leader in responsible AI—for which it’s earned recognition from Gartner, IDC, and Forrester.
PwC cofounded the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion initiative, in which more than 2,500 CEOs representing over 21 million employees and more than 85 industries have pledged to create more inclusive workplaces.
The expansive financial services and consulting firm offers unique benefit programs to their employees that allow for more flexibility.
- This past year, PwC launched its new sabbatical program, which provides employees up to six months off while still receiving 20% of their pay.
- The company expanded its parental leave policy from eight weeks to 12. Parents can also take an additional four weeks where they work at a reduced schedule of 60% (24 hours per week) at their regular base pay.
- PwC increased the number of free counseling sessions from six to 12 annually and increased reimbursement for out-of-network mental health support from 70% to 90%.
- This past year PwC launched My+, a $2.4 billion program that enables employees to build personalized careers, choosing what they work on, the hours they work, where they work, and the benefits they need.
Employees say:
"PricewaterhouseCoopers is a great place to work because it provides significant flexibility of career choice, movement, and working style. Partners, directors, and managers are focused on developing junior team members and providing opportunities for growth on a project-by-project basis."
Employees say:
"PwC is definitely a unique firm to work for. We have amazing benefits that include various leaves without interruption in pay, which allow us to take care of our family or our own health. In addition to this benefit, we also receive vacation/holidays where the firm is shut down to allow a complete disconnect from work. This is almost unheard of with other companies."
Employees say:
"Everyone cares about each other. The people really do make PwC a great place to work. In so many situations I have seen everyone rally around our peers and leaders who may have needs or hardships. The heart in this firm is strong! We all truly care for each other as really people!"
PricewaterhouseCoopers is making industry-leading strides in its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion at all levels. It’s serious about attracting new and diverse talent: In April 2021, building on its existing relationship with 35 HBCUs and 41 Hispanic-serving institutions, the firm made a new $125 million commitment to its Access Your Potential program, which fosters a equitable future for 25,000 Black and Latinx college students by providing digital mentorship and skills training to prepare them for the start of their careers. In addition to a goal of hiring 10,000 new graduates over the next five years, PwC also offers a Student Loan Paydown benefit in which the company pays up to $1,200 per employee each year. In July 2021 it took additional steps toward fostering a more equitable workplace through a robust expansion of its existing transgender-specific health benefits, as well as building on the Inclusion Networks to launch a new inter-belief group with subchapters for Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu professionals and their allies. As one employee says, “Our leadership’s prioritization of social justice and ESG initiatives this past year has demonstrated that it’s not just fluff, and we really are committed to this goal.”
Employees say:
“We are encouraged to bring our whole selves to work, meaning our unique skills, ideas, and approaches so we can deliver the best solutions and experience to our clients. PwC supports this by providing training and tools to use to automate work, make things more interactive, and allowing opportunities to try new ways of working and sharing our results.”
Employees say:
“The firm has excellent benefits, a generous vacation and holiday policy and truly cares about its people and the community in general. There is no doubt this is a great place to work. The firm inspires me every day to bring everything I have to the job, consistently providing unique challenges. This firm genuinely cares about its people, especially in the last year where they did everything possible to avoid layoffs during the pandemic. I am honored to be a part of the organization.”
