9. Would you recommend PwC to a friend?

9b. Why?

Nice people that work there but extremely under resourced and concentrating on cutting costs too much. Therefore, very long working hours do not meet the rewards, often feel dissatisfied. But of course this is allowed as it is a competitive industry.
