Pros
The opportunity to succeed at PwC is huge. Easy access to partners who are committed the growth of their people. As with every other company I've worked for, my experience is due to a) what I make of it and b) my specific partners. I am committed to succeeding while achieving work-life balance, and I keep my partner and director well-informed of my immediate and long-term goals. I feel that the partners I work for are exceptional leaders in both business development and operational areas, working hard for their people so their people can work hard for them. I also receive tremendous support for ethical decisions that form the cornerstone of PwC's, and my, reputation with the clients, even if it may result in reduced business opportunity.
Cons
The size of the firm prevents quick change, which is sorely needed for internal project management efforts. The ARC review process is extremely confusing, even for a person who successfully navigated a promotion year, and does not provide for a true 360 degree review of management personnel. Training is great on Independence areas, which is required by law, but is less than adequate for the numerous internal processes, especially for those activities that must be performed by newly promoted personnel. Knowledge sharing, especially between account teams and Lines of Service, is heavily promoted but is critically lacking in actual implementation.
