      Sleep with your blackberry rather than your partner.

      Pros

      Compensation, lots of opportunities to experience a variety type of projects, work with greatest companies in the country (as your clients), work with intelligent co-workers. I had the opportunity to get a promotion within my first year in advisory, which is rare. If you want to grow and learn, upper management will value you tremendously and support you and get you on big engagements. There are a lot of training opportunities. The compensation package is very appealing and makes it very difficult to leave the job.

      Cons

      Your personal life will slowly fade away and you'll find yourself falling asleep next to your balckberry instead of your partner night after night. You'll spend 5 days a week in another city/state for 6month - 1 yr long engagements... in between you'll get a short break and do it all over again. Many complain that they can't find a boyfriend/girlfriend, not realizing that their lifestyle does not breed any kind of relationship. If you are ok spending your weeks living in a hotel, coming home only to unpack, do laundy, and repack for Monday morning... and you're not much of a social person, then this is a great opportunity. The most succesful consultants are those that are social and enjoy meeting new people.

      PwC - Work hard; Learn a ton

      Audit associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      First and foremost, PwC's reputation as being the best in the audit industry is true - I haven't seen a company with such strict attention to details and training the reinforces it over and over again. The peers are fantastic to work with - almost everybody is a team player, knowledgable, and knows what they are doing, so you can rely on them to do good work. Training is about as good as there is in any industry, with strong online coursework, annual required training at different locations, Disney World for the interns, various travel opportunities (including international), and many mentors that you have no choice but to be a sponge. Reviews and feedback is given whenever you want it, and goes towards possible year end bonuses and career advancement, which is usually given full consideration. I loved my time at PwC for the most part.

      Cons

      With such a reputation in the audit industry, it goes with the territory that you feel sort of pressured to make sure you uphold that reputation by staying until 9PM and do a good job while you're at it. Busy season can take a toll on your body, which is a reason many people decides to grab a CPA and then run right out the door. The traveling varies from person to person, but some people seem to always travel and others never do. The life of an intern is so much better than associate - interns get OT and the same salary and get to go to Disney World - but all that goes away once you are full time - it's sort of like they be playing mind tricks on you. Benefits aren't great, with weak medical and dental, but salary is solid and in line with industry, but I could have gone into finance and received much more, but the "Big 4 CPA" title thing got to me.

      It can be a great place to work, but leadership can be lacking - relationhips are more highly valued.

      Pros

      A global professional environment. Traiing and learning is emphasized. Friendly nice people to work with. A fun culture.

      Cons

      Ratings and feedback from managers, even partners, were terrible. I generally had great ratings, but one time I was blindsided by a partner on a review with no warning or feedback. This brings up a seond point: leadership. the badge says "Excellence, teamwork, Leadership." I agree witht he first two, but the last part of the triangel should be "relationships", not leadership. I consistently saw leaders do the wrong things, and always put relationships before standing up and doing the right thing in treating employees well. It is a culture of clib the pyramid and use your employees. This happens because leadership is not taught there ona consistent basis. Profits and relatiosnhips are emphsized.
