Pros

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is a great place to work because of their belief in maintaining a fair work / life balance. It is very easy to take time off and the management is incredibly understanding of one's personal life. One's schedule is very flexible: I like to arrive quite early in the morning and leave early as well. Others like to arrive very late and stay late into the evening. The company also offers a large number of fun "bonuses" such as free ice cream all summer long, great bonding activities, and lots of firm-sponsored lunches, dinners, and drinks. PricewaterhouseCoopers really does a great job in taking care of its employees.

Cons

The downside of working at PricewaterhouseCoopers is the reduced salary for highly educated specialists. For example, a lawyer at PricewaterhouseCoopers will make less than his or her peers at a big or medium law firm. This is tempered by the reduced chargeable hour requirement, but this is still not an eight hour a day job. Another problem is that, as a large organization, PricewaterhouseCoopers is slow to change or perfect asinine administrative tasks. The annual review process, the various human resource projects, and their ilk take far too long to be helpful. Instead, these processes take up one's valuable time but add nothing of value to the work environment.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to advance your career exist at the firm. You are definitely put on the fast track at PwC, and get exposure to many many different organizations. Even if you're not a partner candidate, you can still gain a tremendous amount of exposure to various skills and organizations (though I wouldn't vocally express a disinterest in the partnership). Having PwC on your resume is like having a silver plating, and gets you a lot of credibility in the marketplace. The Firm does support it's staff, and appears to have an interest in their well being. There's lots of metrics to manage (particularly at the higher levels) but that could also be seen as a con.
