Loved office environment and like PwC as a business. Pay and accommodation was great. Work could be tedious at times.

Recommendations and Advice
Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Great company to start finance career in and great office culture. I can see why a lot of people leave at manager level as they do seem to be underpaid. That applies to manager, senior manager and director.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?
Come into the office as much as possible.
