      Great job if you want the accounting firm lifestyle

      Tax senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It has the benefits of a large organzation in terms of job stability and opportunities for advancement within the firm. For attorneys, however, the pay will always be substantially less than a large law firm and law firms are not very open to hiring lateral associates from accounting firms. The firm is generally flexible with schedules, vacation time, and supporting part-time education.

      Cons

      The major downsides are the lack of opportunities within law firms. In addition, it can be discouraging to have a small cubicle as a work environment, as opposed to an office with a secretary (as in a law firm).

      Just suck it up and pay your dues...

      Tax associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In my opinion, working for a Big 4 accounting firm is the best thing you could possibly do for your career if you plan on working in the financial world. Nowhere else will you find a bunch of 22 year-olds with such a high degree of responsibility...i.e. a tax associate who prepares a billion dollar company's (or individual's) tax return or a audit associate who interacts directly with the CEO, CFO, Controller of a Fortune 500 company. But of course, anything so rewarding does not come without a price. The longer you can tough it out at PwC, the more rewarding it will be for your career.

      Cons

      PwC sounds like heaven to college recruits and interns; however, after working your first busy season at the Firm, you realize that at the end of the day, PwC faces economic pressures, just like any other company out there. When you are charging clients for $150 - $200 for every hour a little associate works on an engagement, the stresses of budgets and time constraints come on harder than ever. At the same time, we have to worry about Deloitte or EY or even Grant Thorton coming along and stealing out clients. So as you could imagine, the level of stress at PwC can be extremely high. You'd be amazed how quickly the Firm's expectations of you increase after just a few months.

      Learn a lot but forget having a normal life.

      Manager - advisory
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The exposure to many different organizations and projects is my favorite reason. I've learned more in the past 5 years than I suspect I'd get over a lifetime in an industry position.

      Cons

      I travel a stupid amount. It is nearly impossible to maintain interpersonal relationships because I'm never home. When I am home, I find that I no longer have much in common with non-consultants. PwC definitely makes your lifestyle wacky.
