      Brilliant opportunity to be challenged and develop, with associated stresses this will bring.

      Pros

      Varied experiences. Good people to work with. Good name on the CV. Good opportunities for progression. Excellent way to build business acumen. Opportunity to develop. Steep learning curve, with lots to learn and satisfaction from resulting personal development. Lots of opportunities for challenges - often put in positions that push your skills and knowledge.

      Cons

      Can be quite stressful - need to be performing well on all occassions, tight deadlines. Need to be committed - if something comes up at work then you have to put aside personal committments. Bonus element of pay is low, meaning that the hardest working/best people receive minimal extra compensation for their efforts. Stress/work-life balance is not too bad, but I wouldn't recommend the role to someone who likes to stay in their comfort zone. There have been many days when I've felt out of my depth, although there is generally a good support network.

      Pros

      Large noteworthy top-tier public accounting firm. Access to multiple clients and industries. Good opportunities for advancement. Public reputation of firm.

      Cons

      The performance evaluation process is a joke, there is a high degree of subjectivity, protectionism, and lack of incentive for meaningful feedback imbedded in the process. Too much focus on internal metrics and not enough focus on professional development. There is a lot of propaganda on wanting to be the "distinctive" firm, but the reality is that PwC is at times distinctive in a bad way.

      Work hard, get underpaid, but it does look nice on your resume

      Pros

      You can learn a lot in a short period of time, you can get exposure to every management style and every type of analysis IF you know where to look. You won't make a lot of money here and the class below you could be making more, but you can use PwC to your advantage. Move around, A LOT. Seek work in various departments and with lots of managers. The exposure can help your career in the long run and set you up to work on other things when you escape. Lifers are VERY rare. Don't worry if you're not one.

      Cons

      You will be worked into the ground and when you wear down, they'll replace you. You're just not important. Your vacation and your health issues are YOUR problem. If you're looking for warm and fuzzy, go elsewhere. My health was so bad I spent a week in the hospital and not a single manager, director or partner i was working with checked to see if i was alive. The better managers i had worked with in the past called to check, but no one i was working with on my current project. In addition to the above, the pay is so low. You can make more slugging it out in industry.
