- Une mission d'audit commence par la détermination d'un programme de travail par le chef de mission. A l'auditeur de s'organiser et gérer son temps afin de rendre les travaux d'audit dans les délais. Les échanges sont nombreux (avec le chef de mission sur des points nécessitant son intervention, coaching ; avec le client afin d'obtenir les éléments probants nécessaires à la réalisation de l'audit des comptes)
- Les opportunités de développement sont favorables avec une évolution rapide de carrière et la possibilité de se développer dans un métier différent de celui de base (un auditeur comptable peut effectuer sous certaines conditions des missions de conseil ou d'audit informatique)
- Le management favorise la prise de responsabilité des différents intervenants en leur offrant beaucoup d'autonomie
- Les missions d'audit s'effectuent avec des équipes différentes. Un auditeur sera donc amené à changer d'équipes très régulièrement et travaillera donc souvent avec des collaborateurs différents
- Le rythme des interventions peut être extrêmement soutenu, nécessitant ainsi une très grande capacité d'organisation de la part de l'auditeur ainsi qu'une très grande capacité de travail
- Découvrir différentes entreprises, différents modes d'organisation ainsi que de nouvelles personnes est un point très intéressant du métier d'auditeur qui sera en perpétuel apprentissage. Le relationnel jouera aussi un rôle très important. L'auditeur pourra tisser des liens forts avec ses différe
l'ambiance au sein de mon équipe est vraiment excellente, je ne ressens aucune pression et j'aime beaucoup l'équipe pour laquelle je travaille. Ma journée commence à 8h30 et se termine à 17h ce qui laisse du temps pour la vie personnelle.
En revanche, la communication interne ne me convient pas. Le poste n'est pas valorisant (tâches de plus en plus limitées avec le temps suite à des restructurations sur mon poste) et je suis resté au même salaire depuis mon arrivée.
L'aspect le plus difficile du poste ne porte pas sur le travail en lui-même mais sur l'environnement, un open space très bruyant et particulièrement sombre.
En revanche, l'aspect le plus agréable est sans aucun doute le contact avec une équipe souriante, et des collègues très chaleureux.

Senior Associate Consultant | France | 11 mai 2017
Amazing and talentful people, a fast learning environment with long hours
A very demanding workplace where networking is the key to success, but even you'll need a little luck to develop the skills you want on the project of your dream. It's a great beginning for a career where you will meet so many people from diverse countries and background. This company offers so many possibilities. "Just" have to take your chance and your place! Because competition is also important, you have to develop and communicate to others the key expertise you have, that will put the light on you. Also you have to accept long hours of work ...don't forget that what the client is not doing will be on you! So the day don't stop when everybody go home (hardest part of the job). Most enjoyable is the fun, events, amazing people, always learning something!!
il faut tomber dans le bon service chez pwc avocats
on peut passer entre les gouttes encore faut-il tomber dans la bonne équipe sinon ça peut tourner au cauchemar. Pas facile d'être support là-bas. il y a eux et il y a vous secrétaire/assistante/support....
heureusement il y a le magnifique parc pour décompresser...
sinon el RAF chez les avocats etait un tres mauvais manager : ne soutien pas. retourne sa veste ne fédère pas, au contraire divise pour mieux régner.
enfin bien négocier son salaire à l'entrée et être sûr de ce qu'on vaut sur le marché car il y a peu d'avantages et bcp de stress ...

Business Manager (H/F) | Rennes (35) | 14 mars 2017
Journée à rallonge et absence de reconnaissance
Mon poste n'était pas représentatif car constituait une "expérience". Beaucoup de déplacement et de présence lors d'événement en soirée.
Une absence totale de reconnaissance des efforts fournis sur le plan commercial tant par les collaborateurs que le management qui n'ont presque aucune culture commerciale.
Absence de feed back du management ce qui ne permet pas de repositionner les actions en cours.
Je déconseille l'expérience aux amateurs sur un poste comparable au sein de cette firme.
Points positifsSuper équipe de (certains) collaborateurs et savoir faire très pointu
Points négatifsTrès peu d'avantages périphériques/Absence de dialogue employeur salarié
D'un associé à l'autre :un poste que vous pouvez faire évoluer
Très simplement, mon recruteur, ex associé Coopers (Stratégie du changement) a été absorbé par un ex Coopers (GRH) et qui m'a fait montée en puissance avec beaucoup d'autonomie. Confiance gagnée. Il recrutait à son image, non seulement des directeurs, des managers, des consultants seniors... des personnes extrêmement brillantes (ayant par ex. cumulé HEC et CENTRAL) mais aussi des personnes dont les qualités humaines étaient indiscutables et indispensables .
Points positifsSalaire souhaité = salaire obtenu
Points négatifsFonction du poste (or gros changements en ma présence et en mieux) et fonction des associés, donc difficile de statuer
Les journées types n'existent pas. Tout dépend des missions chez le client ou au bureau.
Les grades évoluent chaque année et les responsabilités aussi.
PwC donne beaucoup d'autonomie aux collaborateurs.
Cependant il arrive que l'on doivent être seul dans certaines situations par manque de ressources ou d'encadrement pour faire face aux travaux à réaliser.
On apprend beaucoup grâce aux outils PwC mais aussi à cultiver le goût de la curiosité. On se découvre de nouvelles ressources personnelles face aux difficultés.
Le cadre de travail dans les locaux à Paris est très agréable.
Au niveau relationnel, tout était parfait. Ambiance agréable dans l'Open Space. Equipe sympa et amicale. 6 jours de eworking mensuel, bon salaire mais charge de travail exponentielle.
Gros problèmes au niveau des outils informatiques. La gestion des comptes fournisseurs et les règlements prennent 10 fois plus de temps que dans n'importe qu'elle entreprise. Il y a vraiment un très très gros travail à effectuer de ce côté. Les recommandations des opérationnels ne sont jamais prises en compte. Language de sourds et de muets avec la direction.

Ambiente lavorativo molto dinamico e competitivo, career-orieted
Lavoro dinamico, offre possibilità di imparare molte cose diverse a secondo della tipologia di progetto a cui si partecipa e si lavora.
Si apprende una metodologia di lavoro strutturata e si sviluppano soft skill di comunicazione per la gestione della relazione con il cliente.
Sviluppo di competenze di problem solving e abitudine a lavorare sotto pressione.
L'aspetto più negativo è il bilanciamento tra vita privata e lavorativa, non sempre favorevole. Varia comunque motlo a seconda del progetto/cliente/team per cui si lavora.
Entrer dans la firme donne un sentiment de réussite cependant cela vous coûtera très cher psychologiquement. Un management incompétent, peu de dossier croustillant, une associée sans humanité, une évolution sans lien avec l'investissement et la qualité du travail rendu seront les points forts du bureau de Bordeaux. Je vous déconseille fortement cet employeur, turnover supérieur à 50% depuis 3 ans sans remise en question du bien-être des collaborateurs au niveau formation et bien-être au quotidien.

I am a Persoanl Assistant to a Partner, 2 Directors 3 Senior Managers, HR Manager and assist HR and Tax Team
I really enjoy my role at PwC as it is varied due to the fact I look after Partners/directors from different lines of service this incorporates me being involved in many aspects of the business, from designing client proposals to assisting with the HR processes such as Pay review,staff moderation and onboarding procedures of new staff. I am a coach to the other secretaries bringing then up to speed with word, formatting and branding documents and I feel a very valued member of staff. I enjoy working as a team to get things completed accurately and on a timely basis.
My day to day role varies considerable I am at present the P.A. to the People Partner, The Assurance Director, The Tax Director and three additional senior managers and the HR Manager including administrative and secretarial duties for the HR team and the Tax team.
This includes providing proactive diary management, with complete control of the Partner/Directors and the three managers diaries on a day to day basis, organising travel and hotels both domestic and international, including detailed itineraries when appropriate. I arrange meetings and conference calls including inviting attendees, booking rooms and catering as necessary. I enter their timesheets and expenses on a weekly basis, producing WIP reports for the Tax team on request, I assist with producing client bills and cover letters to send out to the client, and I produce the Tax Letter of Engagements. I also assist with with client powerpoin
Points positifsThe people I work with is a plus as they are a great team and its always a joy to come to work.
Points négatifsThe benefit package is not great only Managers and above get bonuses and no health cover
It seems that whoever is in charge of procuring clients for PwC's market research division is unable to do so effectively. For this reason, you can be sent home with no notice at any time despite doing a good job. A recent project finished in December and workers were told to be available for a new one in Mid-January, this new project has now been pushed back with no new start date and January is looking very unlikely. Communication is terrible. Often workers will have to email or call several times and still not receive a straight answer regarding their shifts or status with PwC. Workers are breadcrumbed by management, told that something will be starting 'soon' so that they will stay with PwC. Workers are not valued because we are temps and it's perceived that there will always be temp workers available, so loyalty is not rewarded. Similarly, productivity is not rewarded. When workers do a good job on a project, delivering it within budget and ahead of time, their reward is to be sent home. Meaning that by working effectively, you are essentially putting yourself out of work! Some workplaces offer their staff bonuses for good performance, or perhaps some free pizza or just a well done, but not PwC. Unlike other departments at PwC, this role is minimum wage and when there is no project on workers are not paid. It's not clear why this department of PwC is managed so differently from others. Management does not take constructive feedback well, often taking it personally and ov
Main responsibilities including, but not limited to:
1) Performing audits of financial statements and conducting financial reporting
2) Meeting with companies’ management and chief accountants to corroborate evidence regarding financials, internal controls and significant business cycles
3) Sharing knowledge among colleagues and ensuring team is up-to-date with latest developments in the fieldwork
3) Managing audits for several clients and delegating responsibility to junior staff members.
Every day brought new challenge as I used to work on several audit engagements simultaneously. Typical working day required me to go to clients' premises and meet accounting representatives and those charged with governance in order to conduct various audit procedures. As a part of audit procedures, I asked probing questions regarding financial accounting and internal processes within the audited companies.
Work experience in auditing allowed me to acquire immense accounting/auditing skills, which are of paramount importance for my further career in diverse finance industry. Career in PwC was a great opportunity for me to engage and collaborate with so many different people from different lines of service. In addition, the work experience strengthened my teamwork, communication and influencing skills that are of significant importance in financial sector. “Putting myself in clients’ shoes”, was one of utmost valued behaviours within the firm that helped me to build strong relat
En typisk arbetsdag under högsäsong så kommer jag till jobbet runt 8, kollar mina mejl och sätter mig i en taxi och åker ut till den kund som vi ska arbeta med under dagen tillsammans med mitt team. Vi kommer ut till kund och har ett par planerade möten under dagen och resterande tid så reviderar vi färdiga bokslut där olika delar är fördelade efter tidsåtgång och erfarenhet inom teamen. Andra pågående uppdrag vilar inte utan man bollar ofta flera projekt samtidigt, både externt och internt under dagen. Strax innan 17 så åker vi tillbaka till kontoret. Läser mejl igen, löser det som går att göra via mejl eller bokar upp nya möten med klienter samt arbetar ikapp det som inte hunnits med under dagen.
Jag har lärt mig otroligt mycket och som revisor så slutar man aldrig lära sig. Projektledning är något som man snabbt kommer in i och på PwC så har man högt till tak, öppna dörrar och en teamanda som jag inte haft på någon annan arbetsplats tidigare. Allt är upp till dig.. Vill du och kan du jobba mycket så får du det, behöver du gå tidigt så är det också ok i de flesta situationer så länge som du tar ansvar för ditt arbete.
Säsongen som revisor är väldigt varierande, på PwC har du komp timme för timme vilket inte alla revisionsfirmor har. Detta har lett till att jag jobbat 40-80 timmar/v under högsäsong och sen tagit ut 8-10 veckor ledigt under ett år.
Intresset från rekryterare är stort och att ta nästa steg mot controlling redan efter några år är inte ovanligt. Är d

I worked for PwC for more than a decade, so there were enough positives to keep me there, however, there is one significant flaw in the firm that can affect anyone at any time. Promotions to management grades tend to be made on the strength of length of tenure, technical knowledge and/ or networking, and not on management skills. Consequently there are often issues with decisions made by people who are not skilled in managing people and teams. You can be lucky to get a manager who has the skills or you may be unlucky. The most obvious sign that all is not well is PwC's decision to split the roles of Line Manager and People Manager, a role that is normally done by one job holder in companies where management skills are much stronger. Because this has been a long term issue, many of the most senior people are under-skilled and perpetuate the situation by hiring and promoting more people with poor management skills. The consequences are many and varied examples being- people competing instead of working as a team, being defensive and indecisive and decision-making lacking objectivity and adequate preliminary information gathering. This causes significant additional costs to the firm.
The practical implementation and maintenance of the firm's stated culture, that is in theory very good but in practice suffers from the same issues. When tested, senior people rather than juniors tend to fall short of standards.
Having said that, if you are lucky to get a good line manager,

Easily the worst collections department I have ever worked in
I worked at the Southampton Office in the collections team, taken on a ‘Temp-Perm’ contract. Friends in the sector had warned me about the collections department at PWC and said how ruthless it is - but I thought it couldn’t be that bad. The week I started I was given ‘training’ by a permanent member of staff who did very little other than look on Facebook all day. Temporary or temp - perm members of staff was treated terribly. I had to take my laptop home to work on the collections I hadent managed to get through in the day but despite being with an agency - PwC expected you to do the extra time for free! I raised a concern about invoices not being received by alot of clients but was shot down by one of the team leaders and the collections manager and told it was my fault for not asking the client why the invoice hadent be received! There was a ‘Cull’ of temp staff monthly where out of the blue on a Friday afternoon they were taken out of the office one by one and told not to come back on Monday.. They deceived temp - perm staff into thinking there was a job vacancy after you finished your temp contract when in fact they get rid of you before you have any rights as an employee. At one point a gentleman took a day off holiday and was called and told not to come back - they wouldnt give him a reason why so he came to the office and sat in reception and said he wouldnt move until someone explained to him what their reasons for getting rid of him were - but the collectio

Risk Assurance-BI Developer
A typical day at work:
Most of the time--Arrive at client's office at their time of starting a day's work (and unfortunately, some clients' companies are far....). Communicate with clients in the morning or afternoon, and implement the BI application according to the discussed requirements. Go to the client's canteen or cafe nearby for food. Report to senior manager at the end of the day. End work and go back home when the client is about to shut their office's door.
Sometimes--Arrive at PwC's office at 10 a.m. Look for a seat maybe if new employees come and occupy the tables. Design and make demos and documents for the next bid, or implement tools for internal use. Report to the senior manager at the end of the day. A lot of the times, literally, about 10 p.m or 11 p.m....Because the workload is heavy and they have strict limitations about how many employees they can hire.
What to learned? To deal with priorities under heavy workload, and to communicate with all kinds of clients.
Management? I think it depends. I was luck to be in teams with an easy-going senior manager. And he always stays with the team if they need to work overtime, which actually happens a lot....But I've also seen other managers with a big temper that loves to shout at their associates all the time.
The company has a full set of internal IT systems for all kinds of activities related to communications and management.

Points positifsFree food and taxi for some overtime. Free fruit every Wednesday.
There is a lot about the firm that is great. It is a great culture that values collaboration (below the partner level), that truly values diversity of its employees, and that is very collegial. The Advisory business has grown significantly over the past 5 years since reconstituting a consulting arm with the acquisition of BearingPoint, followed by other large acquisitions of PRTM, Diamond and most recently Booz & Company (Strategy& - which is, actually, a dumb name for a company that garners eye rolls and open chuckling among the staff). The firm has also made smaller tuck in acquisitions as well to fill in small, but important strategic capabilities such as Ants Eye View (for social marketing, social media strategy, and social listening), and BGT (for digital marketing agency work). It is a place where you can build a great career if you can deliver great work, excel at networking across the firm, and can build partner support. Exceptional employees are the "average" here, so if you aren't knocking it out of the park all the time then you can expect to only be rated in the middle of the pack, and receive nominal raises and performance bonuses. It has a strong brand in the market. The firm's latest brand health index rated it at the top of the other "big 4" firms (Deloitte, KPMG, and EY) as well as other non-audit/tax firms like Accenture. The Strategy& acquisition added significant strategy consulting capability to position PwC to compete with the likes of BCG, Bain & McKenz
I highly stressful work environment with limited oversight and a lot of responsibilities towards the succes of the bussiness.
A typical day would include the following:
Reviewing junior staffs' work files, coaching junior and other senior staff, budgeting projects, managing client resources and arranging audit projects. Performing timesheet reviews, approving budgets and expenses and managing staff bookings. Communicating deadlines with clients and report to the Directors of the company (as I report directly to the Director) on a daily basis. Review accounting records and auditt files and compiling audit files and financial statements to report to management and following up on exceptions and crisis management.
I believe I contributed to management by showing the importance of appreciating staff and being involved in the development and coaching of junior staff.
My co-workers are very experienced and is fun to work with. In the profession it is difficult to afford time for social events and social discussions, as we all have to work 90% + productive and we all have extremely high productive work days to finish our duties.
The hardest part of the job is time management, always working late and not being able to obtain leave as client commitments are to important.
The most enjoyable part for me is the part where you develop younger article clerks, coaching and developing them to growth into qualified CA's. The interaction with clients and the fun of sharing your technical knowledge with other, e.g clients, staff, directors and other charged with governance.
