Pros

- flexibility in schedule and places to work from - fairness of the review process - ability to learn outside of your expertise area and grow professionally - great staff benefits and perks - extra days off during holidays

Cons

- lack of structure in onboarding process - lots of misfit placements based on project demands vs associate/senior assoc skills - mentoring with the senior management rarely works due to their heavy work schedules so getting one on one time is challenging to say the least

Slow to promote, promises were made and not kept, and performance reviews exhibit favoritism

Business Outlook

Pros

PwC is a great place to start a career in accounting. I have had many opportunities to learn a lot in a short period of time. Most of the people I work with are very smart, and are great in general. The amount of vacation time (22 days) is amazing, if you can find time to take the days off. Of course, the name on a resume is unbeatable.

Cons

The review process is extremely unfair. As someone who had a majority of "exceeds expectations" reviews, I did not see this reflected in my promotion raise or bonus (there was no bonus). I have also seen bad reviews written with no examples provided purely based on favoritism. Similar occurrences happen during annual reviews. Many promises have been made to me both by HR and managers in terms of the types of clients I would be working with, but after 1.5 years they have not been kept. To top it off, of the Big 4, PwC is the slowest to promote. It is nearly unheard of to reach senior in 2 years. Making manager in less than three is becoming increasingly difficult as well, while PwC is running into a staff shortage.
