      Overall looks great on resume but too many hours to have a life...

      Experienced audit associate

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Looks great on your resume; You get many opportunities to learn from other team members on various engagements; Constant training sessions to keep up with new audit standards; PwC pays for CPA study materials; Occasional traveling also a plus; Late night dinners on the company as well as partial phone bill repayment, not a bad deal.

      Cons

      During audit season (Jan - May) don't expect to have a life and let your friends know that you won't be around until springtime. The hours get pretty awful and I personally don't think it's worth being there if you want to have a normal life. Also, the annual employee review and assessment that goes on is a joke...basically if you are nice to your seniors they will give you good ratings. I worked my butt off and believe I'm pretty intelligent but basically did not receive such great ratings that I deserved after my second year which was basically the straw that broke the camels back...I had no choice but to leave considering the terrible hours, raise and bonus.

      Good Place to work, found it tough to grow

      Associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Promotion of work life balance - Remote working arrangements are possible. On days where you can work from home, you are more than welcome to do so - Co-workers are excellent and truly fun to be around - Very smart coworkers who have had diverse experiences that you can learn from - Direct interaction with junior or senior partners. You can literally stroll in their office (knock first) and have a conversation with them and they are very receptive to coach you - Senior leadership (in the Advisory Practice) is very receptive to feedback from staff members - Formal coaching program

      Cons

      - The consulting mindset seems to encourage talking "fluff" and not delivering as much substance as I'd like to see - Career development at lower levels though talked about is hard to see as much time is spent updating spreadsheets & presentation - Too much emphasis is placed on "check the box" items as opposed to looking at accomplishments within a broader context - Not enough focus on technical development at lower levels.

      Public accounting with the Big 4 is a fast track for success

      Audit manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Great access resources and industry insights -Fast track for learning and developing essential technical accounting and mangerial skills -Fast track for building value in case you'd like to leave for industry -Great training (on the job and formal offerings) -Great vacation policy -Flexibility depending on your client

      Cons

      -Fast track career in public accounting demands more working hours. However, starting your career with 5-7 years in public accounting builds much more value than starting with 5-7 years in industry. -Worklife balance is not always practical and it greatly depends on your clients.
