Pros

They are one of the largest accounting firms in the world, and in Malaysia they are also pretty big. Working in a large firm allows for great opportunities for growth and learning since you get exposed to a wide range of clients and companies. You get to audit companies from different backgrounds and different reporting entities. A large firm also has a greater capacity to invest in training for employees to equip them with the skills required to perform the job well. Besides, they also pay a decent amount of salary. PwC also has a great working culture and the people are pretty nice.

Cons

The working hours is a bit too long. You have to work way beyond the stipulated 8.30am to 5.30pm. Most of the time I would have to stay in the office or at the client's place until 10-11pm. During peak periods I may have to stay till the wee hours of the morning. There is almost no work-life balance working as an auditor in Malaysia. I guess it is unavoidable since others from different accounting firms also experience the same working conditions. The other thing bad about working at PwC is the parking is very expensive since it is located at the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

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.
