      Opportunities for those who are part of "Old Boys" network

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very well known brand that allows access to clients who are top companies in their industry verticals. The firm is into virtual office so you the ability to work from just about any location you want (I once went almost two years before returning to my assigned office location.) Lots of opportunities to get firm sponsored education to meet CPE requirements.

      Cons

      Expectation to work long hours with little chance of getting bonus or other compensation (except for "hardship bonus" on long term out of town assignment.) Your time needs to be accounted for in 6 minute increments and there are penalties for not meeting your billability targets. The partners in my practice came through the acquisition of another firm and they completely trashed the existing practice. If you were not part of the acquired firm you were treated as a second class citizen and relegated to second tier clients and tougher travel schedules.

      PwC offers amazing opportunities to update your resume with new experiences from every client engagement.

      Pros

      PwC offers unprecedented client experience straight out of college in the advisory line of service. Me and my colleagues immediately began working with our clients and traveling around the country. Networking opportunities are second to none and I will certainly be leveraging my relationships with client management as I continue to advance in my career at PwC or elsewhere. Simply put, you get paid to learn the industry and to provide consulting services to the most prestigious companies in the world. Every new project can be viewed as an opportunity to add something new to your personal resume.

      Cons

      The audit and tax side is heavily affected by long, tedious overtime hours. The advisory side is not impacted as much due to a lack of a "busy season". On the technology side, I very rarely work more than 40-50 hours per week. Biggest problem with PwC is that you can sometimes feel like a small fish in a big ocean. It's easy to get lost in the crowd, and even easier to be overlooked in respect to recognition for outstanding client service, which leads to pay increase and even promotions. There is internal political drama at most big companies, and PwC is no different.

      Pros

      Once you progress, the work/life balance at PwC becomes very good. It is not the type of place you need to sit around and show face time and most partners are good about letting you dictate your own schedules. It is also a somewhat recession proof company - bonuses may go down but you will still have a decent salary and good benefits.

      Cons

      Like most job, the bonuses should be better. Allocation amongst groups of revenue takes away from successful groups lower ranking employees getting their fair share. Plus, if you sell new business (as in relationship) they don't allocate you much credit - maybe 5 to 10 at year and say it helps with partner admission down the road, never a guaranteed thing. Also, they have a lot of HR overhang - the people just keep coming up with new ways to keep you busy to justify their jobs.
