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.

Pros

There are so many opportunities for career growth through feedback, working abroad or getting the best training. Feedback is very important, and the Firm requires that supervisors provide them on a timely basis. The Firm is located in many countries and they serve the top companies so this represents opportunities for growth. Also, the staff are hardworking, young and enjoy working in teams. The people that the Firm hires are from so many different backgrounds, so all hirees can express themselves as individuals. The Firm actively takes part in serving the community as well. Staff members have the option of leading some of these volunteer events.

Cons

The hours are very long and the organization is very bureaucratic.

Pros

Great career opportunities early on. Get great industry knowledge and experience with leading companies right from the start. You work with very smart, highly competitive people that mostly are looking to succeed. The flexibility you get once you move deeper into your career is probably the greatest benefit of all. The ability to work from home and flex your hours is excellent. However, this is very difficult to do early in your career and is a benefit only realized when you are there 6+ or so years and not every person will realize it depending on your team / group.

Cons

The industry standard is very long hours and travel. We work for our clients are subject to their needs and demands as well as the needs and demands of your supervisor. This can be extremely stressful early on in your career. Promotions are given to those who are in the 'in'. I have seen highly competent people passed up for promotion while a partner 'friend' gets the promo 2 years early. As you move forward in your career, the bar just keeps getting higher as well. You always have to do more then the partner/ director/ manager promotion class before you.
