PWC - Public Accounting Firm

I have an opportunity to interview for a Tax Manager position at this firm in Melville. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this firm? I am looking at the Melville office.

I feel like these bigger firms have a bad reputation as far as work/life balance. I work in public accounting now and I know it is normal to have insane hours but I am wondering how much worse it can get!

I am looking to move companies for growth which I am not finding with the firm I am at now.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I am nervous but understand if I don't get an offer it wasn't the right fit.

I always preferred the mid-size feel myself, but I know that the Big 4 are becoming very competitive with work-life balance/working from home situations so it's definitely worth looking into.

Good luck with the interview!

I have heard both sides with my friends in the big 4. but it seems from what they tell me that due to the size of the company they are a little more flexible with working from home, balancing home/work life etc as well.... but on the tax side, that season does involve a ton of hours etc.

My husband has worked for one of the big 4 for over 12 years. There is barely any work life balance. He is close to partnership consideration and it is insane! He is leaving for Asia in a week, we found out yesterday.
He does not work for PWC so, I am not sure of their flexibility.
Good luck with your interview!!
