Pros

PwC offers unprecedented client experience straight out of college in the advisory line of service. Me and my colleagues immediately began working with our clients and traveling around the country. Networking opportunities are second to none and I will certainly be leveraging my relationships with client management as I continue to advance in my career at PwC or elsewhere. Simply put, you get paid to learn the industry and to provide consulting services to the most prestigious companies in the world. Every new project can be viewed as an opportunity to add something new to your personal resume.

Cons

The audit and tax side is heavily affected by long, tedious overtime hours. The advisory side is not impacted as much due to a lack of a "busy season". On the technology side, I very rarely work more than 40-50 hours per week. Biggest problem with PwC is that you can sometimes feel like a small fish in a big ocean. It's easy to get lost in the crowd, and even easier to be overlooked in respect to recognition for outstanding client service, which leads to pay increase and even promotions. There is internal political drama at most big companies, and PwC is no different.

Pros

Great place to start your career.

Cons

Build a network fast, the sooner the better. It's all about who you know in order to get promoted. Putting in the hours and submitting quality work, will distinguish you from your peers, but at the end of the day who you know is very important. They also like to recruit individuals with strong communication skills, this is definitely not overlooked at PwC.

Pros

Great Career opportunities, many chances to learn from the experts about the technical and emerging issues while also building valuable core knowledge concepts. Many other chances to travel and learn from different service arms of the firm.

Cons

The competitiveness of employees on the same team, which is often made worse by office politics. Overall, a team atmosphere of completing work and serving the client is often absent while many try promote themselves. Even though they tout the respect of a personal work/life balance on a firmwide level, many times this is disregarded as it is handled on a local (office) basis.
