Our Benefits 
 Motivating advantages and additional benefits 
We aim to create a positive workplace: an environment which facilitates flexible and creative working, in which work is recognized and effort is rewarded, and which we can be proud of. That's our ideal workplace, that's our vision. Therefore, we offer a wide range of advantages and benefits that you can capitalize on. See for yourself!

True Work-Life-Choice


Most of us associate the term "work-life balance" with the compatibility of career, family, and free time. But for some people, a balance of 50/50 between work and private life may be ideal, while others may want to spend more time with the family or concentrate fully on their career. 

We selected the term "work-life choice" to avoid being prescriptive here. That means that you can decide for yourself what your ideal balance of work and free time looks like. This allows you to reconcile your personal and professional needs totally individually within the framework of the PwC business model depending on your current stage of life.

Workation in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland
"Workcations work out great! I only had to file a flexwork application, but that went off without a hitch. Since I usually work remotely from home anyway, the only thing that changes about my daily working life is the climate, the view, and the lunch. Some excursions are planned in the evenings and on the weekends."
