      In some respects great, but certainly not for everyone.

      Pros

      The Firm provides high quality and frequent training. All CPEs are provided for you at no personal expense. Travel policies are efficient, generous and have minimal administrative burdens - try traveling for business for nearly any other employer (non-competitor) and you will see. Risk management policies ensure that PwC is selective about what they sign up to do - methodologies are mature and repeatable, and PwC doesn't take new clients and engagements out of desperation. You will build a large network of bright, hard working and ambitious people, combined with highly respected brand name which will help your long term career prospects. Benefits are decent overall.

      Cons

      The work is generally not fulfilling and is often micromanaged. Anyone below below Partner or MD has very little discretion. The annual review process is very time consuming, tedious and highly political, creating a culture where people are obsessed with their next promotion and quietly distrustful of the system. There is a lot of workplace bullying and people are often treated unfairly. Overall the Firm's culture is very two-faced and to thrive here, people soon understand that they must become two-faced as well. Staff will also work a lot of hours, feel that it is not within their control and report to Sr. leaders that have very inefficient work habits. It is difficult to complete things here unless you have an extremely Type A personality because the Firm's culture suffers from "analysis paralysis."

      Brilliant opportunity to be challenged and develop, with associated stresses this will bring.

      Pros

      Varied experiences. Good people to work with. Good name on the CV. Good opportunities for progression. Excellent way to build business acumen. Opportunity to develop. Steep learning curve, with lots to learn and satisfaction from resulting personal development. Lots of opportunities for challenges - often put in positions that push your skills and knowledge.

      Cons

      Can be quite stressful - need to be performing well on all occassions, tight deadlines. Need to be committed - if something comes up at work then you have to put aside personal committments. Bonus element of pay is low, meaning that the hardest working/best people receive minimal extra compensation for their efforts. Stress/work-life balance is not too bad, but I wouldn't recommend the role to someone who likes to stay in their comfort zone. There have been many days when I've felt out of my depth, although there is generally a good support network.
