PwC Middle East

Hello everyone!

What are your opinions about PwC Middle East (consulting)? How is it viewed in terms of prestige and reputation? I know that it isn't tier 1 or tier 2, but is it still considered a good consulting firm (let's say "tier 3" or top 10)? How are the exit opportunities to other consulting firms and to other firms in general? Is it possible to still land acceptances at top MBA schools later as a PwC Middle East Consultant?

Thank you!

Hi there,

Being associated with Strategy& helps, but of course Strategy& is the dominant one in the Middle East.

My understanding is that PwC isn't very strong/reputable in the Middle East, though this would surely diffe ra bit by office. If you can, Strategy& is the preferred route.

PwC is by the far the most superior big four firm in the ME. They were the first to set up operations in UAE/ Bahrain.

Hi, I confirm PwC has a good brand reputation. However, the type of projects strongly depends on the practice and it can be really different from top strategy firms. If you are serious about strategy consulting I recommend - in the PwC network - only S&.

Best,
Antonello

Whilst PwC is the leading big 4 in MENA, it is surpassed by Strategy& being the player with the longest provenance in the region. The PwC deals team in the middle east are also strong
