This works well in the company

From the outside, the company makes a good impression and the two interviews with the recruiters were also very positive. I have never seen anything like what happened afterwards.

This could be improved

Absolutely subterranean recruiting staff. Had 2 personal interviews. Despite the very good impression on site and the very friendly interview, feedback was delayed for weeks. After a polite inquiry, the answer came days later that the process was delayed. Weeks later, a short automated reply with a rejection. Receiving an automated response from PWC after 2 personal interviews shows everything you can hold against this company and HR. Never seen such an unprofessional company with such a disastrous HR department. Never again.

This works well in the company

Dishonest employer. I applied and received a verbal commitment from the manager in the third interview. After that, there was radio silence and no one got in touch. I then contacted them independently and was lied to that they tried to call me and that I was unreachable. I was told that there were many other applicants and the job was given to another person. However, the job is again new in the job postings and on the application portal it says that I supposedly withdrew my candidacy independently, which of course I never did.

This could be improved

Being honest with applicants and not making empty promises.

Es gibt immer aktuelle und ehemalige Mitarbeiter, die etwas zu nörgeln haben. In der Regel sind dies aber leider diejenigen, die keinen guten Job machen - oder anders ausgedrückt, wenn man einen guten Job macht, stimmt auch der Rest.

This could be improved

Wahrscheinlich wie in jedem Unternehmen könnte die IT verbessert werden.

Huge flexibility, fascinating projects, challenging tasks, great team, trendsetting, clear communication.

This could be improved

Speed for decisions, last-second decision taking, lame IT environment.

This works well in the company

The application process went well until I was simply forgotten after the third personal interview. I called, was put off with a recall from the HR representative and again heard nothing. I called again and was lied to; they would have chosen the other candidate. The same job (I asked for it) was advertised for at least another two months. Too time-consuming and annoying, I won't be applying to PWC anymore.

Much to learn, however, unfair wage relationships, no benefits, unorganized human resources management

Arrogance and modern office

Applicant

01 October 2018

At the interview I unfortunately had the feeling (despite the culture of dozens) that my counterpart felt that he belonged to the higher society. I find this questionable from a reputation point of view, especially since I had the head in front of me, which was supposed to look a bit less dull as a representative. Otherwise beautiful offices, very modern and great reception staff. The location is well equipped with parking spaces and has the Oerlikon train station right around the corner, great.

Not recommended!

Former employee

I hardly know anyone who has stayed as an assistant (legal or tax) for more than a year. Part-time work with young fathers? Nothing. Worklifebalance? Nothing. Arrogant superiors? Yes, there are. Efficiency? Hardly, but a lot of overtime. Teamwork? Difficult, but more competition

Thanks for your evaluation. I read that you haven't had any great experiences with us - too bad! Unfortunately, I don't quite understand your feedback: for example, we offer many flexible working time models that are available to our employees. I would be happy if you would contact me so that we can discuss your feedback (michaela.christian.gartmann@ch.pwc.com). Best regards, Michaela Christian Gartmann PwC Switzerland, Territory Human Capital Leader

Here I would even insert a minus 5 stars.

Apparently your application process went a long way wrong! I'm sorry about that. In order to get to the bottom of your feedback, we need more information. I would therefore greatly appreciate it if you approach our Recruitment Leader directly with your more detailed feedback: elisabeth.ziller@ch.pwc.com.
