Pros

Since PwC is an enormous multinational corporation, it's able to provide many benefits and discounts to its employees. The healthcare plans, 401K matching, tuition reimbursement, and life insurrance are just some of the benefits that all employees are granted. Great external benefits include discounts on things like cell phone usage and theater tickets to name a few. And with PwC's particular lines of business it will never be in a bad financial position. Grandiose parties and events are common. PwC even throws a party for the families or its overworked staff. Employees easily can get whatever software, hardware, or supplies they need for their work.

Cons

Politics and cliques. If you're not in a clique shared be a partner or senior manager, you can forget about major promotions or bonuses. This was the over-whelmingly negative aspect of PwC in New York City, but it did not carry over to other branches. There was an enormous amount of competition between staff to be put on the best projects, the top clients, or to performs certain types of work or skills. The staff who was chosen to perform this work was chosen based not on the historical quality of that employee's work, but rather how good of friends they were with the project's manager.

Pros

PwC is a great place to start a career - you'll learn more and have more access to high level executives than just about any other job right out of school. The training and developmental opportunities are second to none.

Cons

Work life balance is tough. Typically I travel 25% - 35% of the year and for months at a time I average 70 hour weeks. I think this is fairly typical of public accounting, however. There is some flexibility, but the bottom line is that you are at the mercy of your clients. If you want to work an 8 to 5 job, this isn't it.

Pros

Big company so you have opportunities if you want to find them, if you are the type of person who goes after such opportunities you will love working for PwC. It is a challenging place to work and that makes each day different and enjoyable.

Cons

You can feel a little like a number and a role rather than a person. It is a very large organization and can feel lost, nervous about making mistakes and like you are living in a foreign country without knowing the language for sometime! There are expectations that you will live and breathe PwC, so you might have to fight to get the balance you want - it is there for the strong!
