Pros

The prestige of working for a big four firm is very good for your CV. The training (study leave) was excellent and the pay grading for junior employees is transparent and fair, although some of the appraisal information seemed to be ill informed or unbalanced.

Cons

The blatant favouritism by middle managers towards junior employees who fawn, rather than excel. "Face time" seemed to more important than intellect to many managers. I find it difficult to justify being at work when I am on top of my workload - I would rather be at home with my family than be seen to be working long hours needlessly.

Pros

Nonstop learning or complex and new accounting issues. This is due to extensive formal training and on-the-job training as you tackle new audit areas/issues. Working at PwC also provides accountants significant exposure to variuos clients and industries, which comes in handy when it's time to leave the firm. Also, working for PwC is a great way to network with other professionals inside and out of PwC.

Cons

Work/Life balance isn't a significant concern of management. Management is soley concerned with meeting their deadlines for their client. Compensation is significantly less than what can be obtained in industry. Also, like other corporate positions, politcs rather than performance determine many promotions.
