Working at PwC
PwC is a hugely diverse business bound together by a single purpose.
Our purpose
Our purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems. At PwC, we unite expertise and tech so that our clients can outthink, outpace and outperform their competition. That makes us a hugely diverse business, offering all kinds of professional services to all kinds of organisations, all over the world. Our purpose is what unites and underpins all that insight and impact.
Our greatest opportunity to deliver our purpose is by doing meaningful work that makes a difference to our clients, our colleagues, the communities around us and society as a whole.
Our Global firm is made up of hundreds of thousands of talented people who sit across our wider network. We work with clients of every shape and size –from the tech startups disrupting the way we live to the biggest brands, the most successful multinationals and the most significant organisations, which shape the world around us. So the trust we build and the problems we solve do really have a far-reaching impact. And everyone who joins us plays their part in that shared purpose.
Our values
While PwC people come from all kinds of different backgrounds and cultures, our values are what we have in common. They set the standards for what we expect from ourselves and one another. They hold us accountable to be the best we can be, and to take personal responsibility for our actions. They guide how we work with, and care for, our clients, our communities and each other.
We expect and deliver the highest quality outcomes, speak up for what’s right, even in difficult situations, and make decisions as if our personal reputation is at stake.
We stay informed and respond with agility to the ever-changing business environment in which we operate—always looking to create a positive impact on our colleagues, clients and society.
We aim to understand every individual and what matters to them, recognising each person’s value and contribution, while enabling them to grow in a way that brings out their best.
We collaborate, share ideas and integrate a diverse range of perspectives to improve ourselves and others.
We empower innovation and challenge the status quo by keeping an open mind to the possibilities in every idea.
Grow here. Go further.
Our People Value Proposition (PVP) ‘Grow here. Go Further' is designed to enhance the way we work, grow and learn together. It creates a distinctive and unified people experience that delivers on our brand promise. It outlines the mutual expectations of working here, and is shaped around the four pillars detailed below, which represent our offering to you and the experience you'll have working here. These are underpinned by our PwC Professional behaviours (early careers / experienced careers), which outline the expectations we have of our people in return.
At PwC, you lead by example. Our standards for quality and care are high – and together we surpass them. We redefine possibilities for our clients and communities. Through diverse starting points and collective expertise, we embrace every opportunity to shape the future.
Here, success means influencing where the world will be. We work with emerging technologies and leading organisations, questioning assumptions about what’s next and empowering our people to be their best.
We do more than develop skills — we cultivate potential. Your growth becomes our clients’ advantage. Here, we uncover hidden talents, build lifelong relationships rooted in trust and empathy, and turn challenges into opportunities for innovation.
Together, we set the future in motion.
We support you in making a meaningful impact — one that reaches far beyond PwC.
