Pros

When you are looking for another job, the name PWC will be like a magic word to get interviews they are flexible about start time (bc you work ridiculous hours) lots of training available online international presence all the other things associated with big 4.

Cons

this is truly a place for type A people. If you are laidback, you will not fit it. being somewhat shy or quiet will not work to your advantage. Pwc claims to value diversity. Diversity in race maybe but not in personality. If you are not the intense bubbly eager type you will be labeled as "not a team player" the hours they expect from you are ridiculous. i've worked monday through sunday till 3am for a month straight (and had to be back at work the next day at 9). Don't be fooled by "it's only during busy season". That applies only to audit. In tax, busy season is whenever you are on a client.

Pros

There are a good amount of bright people here to learn from. Good client base. Not considering the hours worked, the pay/benefits are actually quite good.

Cons

No worklife balance. A common complaint is how people come in expecting for the most part the hours will only be bad during January-March/April timeframe. However this isn't the case at all. Clients with deadlines occur year round. The cult like mentality of employees is disgusting, its as if people are ok with being treated like dogshit and like it. Office politics aplenty. Promotions/rating system is unfair even with the new guidance surrounding the whole ARC process. Its as if your PFFs mean nothing when your rating is determined (ie. very few 1s or 2s).

Pros

Technology, benefits, pay, and great people to work with (at least before so many were fired due to outsourcing/offshoring of IT in 2009 and 2010). Firm is sneaky by not communicating group offshoring to other groups - you just find out one day that "they" have all left.

Cons

Very poor Senior Leadership in many instances. There are still some very talented people there in Senior Leadership, but I'll bet some of them will leave as soon as they can. Use to be a great culture but it has digressed significantly.
