Pros

pros: The firm has global name recognition and having the name pwc on your resume tends to open doors or at the very least improve your chances of consideration for a position related to accounting or within the industry you specialize in. Benefits are very competitive. Most employees get atl east 15 days (3 weeks) of paid vacations. We frequently get additional days off during the holidays and around 4th of July. Salary and bonus is competitive, especially if you do well in the annual review process and get promoted.

Cons

Cons of working at PwC include the long hours (particularly if you are in the audit practice). During the months of January February and March every year - don't expect to see your loved ones much or have time for your hobbies and friends. Another con with working for the firm is you sometimes get lost in the shuffle since it is such a large organization. You have to be aggressive in networking, getting your name out there and pursuing your own development opportunities.

Pros

PwC treats every employee as part of the PwC family. They know how to appeal to every aspect of an employee's happiness - recognition, rewards, flexibility, merit based promotions/pay/bonuses/raises. Lots of my friends wish they worked for PwC - they give us extra days off at holidays, spot bonuses for no reason (bigger spot bonuses if you earn them). The flexibility allows employees to meet personal committments and live their life.

Cons

Accountants and auditors work a looooot of hours, but this is true of all of the big four. Specialists have it really good here.

Pros

Good people to work with and lots of knowledge to be shared! Very intelligent people work at PwC and do not have any issues with knowledge transfer or training individuals. However, management thinks that you can substitute people within certain lines of service and are out of touch with the skillsets of their employees and the needs of the the certain lines of service at PwC. The benefits are some of the best I have seen within the consulting world, however I do not think that travel is counted within salaries at PwC. If you can not or do not want to travel, PwC is not for you!

Cons

Salaries are not commensurate with experience or with other employees within the practice. Many new graduate employees are hired in at a higher base salary than employees that have been there for 3-5 years. To have a salary changed at PwC is impossible, even if you do the data search and present salaries that are higher. Travel is a beast at PwC, and is not factored in to your work-life balance at PwC. If you do not want to travel or can not travel, PwC is not the place for you to be employed or work based on the amount of travel required.
