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.

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

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.

Again, I think it has been a trying year for the company and that has been reflected in company culture and behaviour.

Everyone is very friendly

Very flat structure in my team where I feel comfortable asking questions to anyone. Everyone feels included

I find that PwC has a great culture. It is not hierarchal and I feel as though I can reach out for help to anyone at PwC if I were to need it. It is also good to have a larger grad group to go through CA with. I enjoy a more busy environment with lots of people and PwC definitely provides that for me. In fact, I often do not like working from home as I would rather go to work and be around others for motivation.

At times people may not know how to deal with stress or manage their capacity, which may lead to outbursts or unhealthy ways of interacting with team members. The office presence is also poor and deters me from wanting to come into the office.
