I have regular GST clients I work on each month, I have other clients who I continue to work on and then every now and then I'll get given other clients financials to work on that I've never done before.

Pros and cons of working at PwC NZ

Pros

  • Being in a big company means the opportunity for growth is limitless, which can be overwhelming but inspiring at the same time.

  • The people - how connected, friendly, and open-minded they are.

  • We are encouraged to use our flexibility policy to structure our work in a way that suits us.

  • The PwC office in Auckland is amazing - the facilities are nice and the view is stunning.

  • My manager is very accommodating and professional. I enjoy working with him.

Cons

    • The distribution of work (resourcing) isnโ€™t clearly communicated, which makes me feel insecure when I have the least amount of work assigned compared to others.

    • Long hours (at times).

    • Annual progression is good but has no flexibility for exceptional circumstances.

    • The pay disparity is accepted due to the experience gained.

    • With being in a big company it can be hard to feel like a small ๏ฌsh in a big pond, especially as a graduate.
