STEM Careers at PwC

Pursue your passions and your career

In addition to leadership, communication and relationship skills that have always been key attributes to a PwC Professional, skills in data analytics and information management are more valuable than ever. We want to ensure that we are empowering our staff to drive innovation and lead change- to be the leaders who will build their own futures and our future at PwC.

No two career paths are alike and we’ll help you design your own. We provide the training, coaching and client experiences that help you build relationships and shape your career your own way.

Technology and advances in data analytics are rapidly transforming the needs and expectations of our clients, highlighting opportunities for PwC to deliver enhanced value in the services we provide across the firm. In order to keep up with the fast pace of change, we need people who have the right background and skill sets to meet the expectations of our clients and the industry. A STEM background delivers critical thinking and quantitative skills that create value for our clients.

Advisory

  • Helping oil and gas companies identify new technologies that will decrease drilling times and in turn decrease the amount of hours, materials, and money spent on drilling new wells domestically.
  • Helping a client transition from an antiquated system on a laptop to mobile devices with an integrated system that allows them to have sales data and other vital information available to them.
  • Working with a client to implement a cloud-based lending application at various financial institutions.
  • Working with a client to upgrade their financial systems by implementing an Oracle Solution.
  • Working on a Data Loss Prevention expansion project, helping the client to extend protection to USB and email traffic monitoring, as well as SharePoint scanning for sensitive data such as Social Security numbers and credit card numbers, mitigating risk of sensitive data loss.
  • The Federal Reserve requires a Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) of each bank every year. We help to validate their models that they submit to the Federal Reserve to ensure that they have enough capital on hand. We use SAS (Statistical Analysis System) to evaluate and test their models and look for any key risks.

Assurance

  • Working on an audit of a public healthcare company. We often handle large amounts of data and are doing analysis of financial statement accounts in much of what we do.
  • Designing and implementing work programs to help our clients identify and manage risk surrounding their finances, operations, and regulatory environment.
  • Working with clients in all different industries to understand their assets through data collection and analyzation.
  • Testing our client’s systems to validate the completeness and accuracy of the information that comes from them.
  • Helping clients understand how IT impacts the financial statement audit and also contribute to the IT audit by ensuring the systems are working appropriately.
  • Taking large, complex data sets and turn that data into actionable intelligence so our clients can make more strategic business decisions.

Tax

  • Leveraging various data analysis tools to assist clients with gathering and consolidating tax sensitized data from various source systems, and assisting clients in proactively managing their tax positions, thereby enabling better reporting and forecasting.
  • Cleaning up data issues, automating the data transfer, and ensuring that tax deprecation is being calculated and reported correctly on our clients’ tax return.
  • Leveraging technology to clean up data and processes in order to focus efforts on analyzing data.
  • Manage Fixed Asset data in order to help clients analyze data, design a more efficient process, and implement more effective technology.

Technology careers: Meet DJ

Our internal audit client at the moment wants to track our progress in completing the different phases of the project. We try to present the information they need in manner that is not only easy to read and understand, but also in a manner that adds value to client, rather than just presenting numbers. We use data analysis and visualizations to help the client better understand their control environment and the work we have done within it.
