Culture at PwC Australia

Amazing and welcoming culture! Great colleagues! Very flat hierarchy - great community of solvers.

Team is very encouraging and willing to support with work at all times. Good amount of after hours activities with people from the office.

Culture in my teams great, unsure if I can say the same for the overall company

In office hours the culture is great with all staff being approachable and the team eating lunch and getting coffees together often. Out of hours is also good with weekly team drinks and dinner for those who stick around. However, culture is heavily driven by the juniors rather than middle management.

PwC says all the right things in their various policies around work-life balance, workplace behaviour, and staff wellbeing. Anecdotal evidence provided by various current and former team members largely corroborates the impression these policies give: that of a firm which prioritises and cares about staff wellbeing and morale. Everything I have directly witnessed in the short time I've been here also supports this position. That being said, I have heard a smaller number of more negative stories about the firm, both directly from those involved and secondhand from people who witnessed or were informed of what transpired. Overall PwC appears to have excellent culture both during and after hours, but like any organisation it is not a faultless utopia by any means.

Good positive culture, however, not many socialising events for graduates after the first month. I wish there was opportunities to have a social event with all the grads from different parts of the business.

Very strong hierarchy structure which I really enjoy to be learning in.

It is a friendly and inviting culture that welcomes people to be their true authentic self.

The culture out of office here is great. My team often socialise after work on a Friday, and everyone is inviting of others. In office, the teamwork is often done as a divide and conquer kid of thing, so there isn't as much active collaboration as I thought there would be. In office, the hierarchy is lead by the partners - who interact with the team, but also respect the boundary between themselves as our bosses, and us as the working team. Below that is a group of senior managers and managers, followed by juniors ranging from grads to those with 4 yrs experience.

A very welcoming network of individuals, both at a peer level (associate) and more senior level. Really felt settled in from day 1.

Company culture is good both inside and outside but limited to some groups of people. Especially people from the same diverse background. But in general, it's good.

lots of after-work activities dinner and drinks or the local pub. Plenty of offers for lunches. You are the odd one out if you don't go all the time

Gets the balance between the hierarchy of respect but not so much that younger members don't feel comfortable approaching senior team members. Strong focus on socialising inside and outside of office hours. Has dropped off slightly in the past few months with the restructure but hoping things will start to pick back up.

standard corporate structure - in my team culture is positive, not always the case in other teams

Culture in the office and after hours is great in the team. Everyone is super cooperative and there is a heavy emphasis on teamwork. The great social aspect in the team amongst colleagues

In office hours the culture is pretty good, however lack of events, socialising after work

My team is very supportive and understanding and always tries to accommodate (where needed and possible) everyone in the team (regardless of grade). Essentially, treats everyone equally and with respect at all levels (in my experience).

The best of any company I've worked at - office hours are extremely flexible and I barely ever work a late night. The team is extremely close, however I'll note that is because of our own initiative. The hierarchy is extremely flat, with partners staying approachable to younger levels :)

We have a flat structure; partners are happy to assist so it provides a steeper learning curve. There are hardly any politic in my team, people are friendly and happy to help.

Each of the consulting teams has its own differing culture and ways of working. I like my teams, they are all genuinely friendly and supportive with any questions or concerns you may have. I have met some great grads and we have formed connections that expand outside of the office.
