Pros

Great culture; people are generally nice and easy to get along with.

Cons

The Advisory practice is still being built, which would lead one to believe staff would have many kinds of opportunities, but this is not the case. Management only cares about staffing people with relevant professional experience on a specific type of project. In consutling, of course, you need to have relevant professional experience to solve client problems, but is this really the case at a level below manager? Very few managers and above care to do on the job training. So, you're out of luck if you are looking to grow professionally into a different career track or don't have much professional experience.

Pros

PwC is a fantastic place to work for learning, professional development and international opportunities. The senior staff are experts in their field and they are always willing to help. There are also numerous structured learning opportunities, such as the annual Advisory University, run for professional advisory staff across the country, serving as both a technical training and networking event. The technical networks are very well established and serve as an excellent foundation for finding the best (and right) answer quickly and efficiently. On numerous occasions, having such a solid network enables the efficient completion of core client deliverables and allows more time to pursue the true 'added value' tasks that differentiate working for a large firm to others.

Cons

The work/life balance as discussed a great deal at PwC, but in practice is rarely given any real chance at coming into existence. Long hours are not uncommon, and it is standard practice to expect staff to travel long distances in their own time (4am Monday to 11pm Friday is not an uncommon week). The most hardworking staff are adequately compensated from a pay perspective, but this doesn't take into account the loss of family time, lost interaction with friends and the inability to plan a social life and take advantage of the entertainment options that New York has to offer.

Pros

A truly professional organization that values its most important assets - its staff. Everyone is held accountable for what they do and rewarded for a job well done. You cant survive long running under the radar here so you always need to be at the top of your game, but you get compensated accordingly.

Cons

If you want to coast along in life and work 9 to 5 every day with no stress or having to think too hard, its probably not the place for you.
