Business Outlook
Pros
The PwC Name. Flexible hours during the summer months. Partners and managers knows that employees (seniors and associates) are working hard and they try to reward you (although the rewards are often a bit small). Extra days off given by upper management from time to time, also early office closings before holidays. Highly competitive environment.
Cons
Hours during busy season could be bad depending on client. Also, depending on industry, you could have close to 8 months of busy season. Very high staff turnover. Smaller scale engagement teams normally don't have enough staff. Lots of problems between HR and staff. Because of the highly competitive environment, backstabbing between team members is not rare.
