      Exposure is grand, compensation not so much.

      Pros

      You get a great chance to gain exposure to many different clients. This helps you build a network not only internally but externally as well. Fantastic expose to different level of management. Chances to observe and detect growth within your own work are frequent. People enjoy life and arent always miserable. Free Cell Phones as well as the chance to work from home on most Fridays make it easy to feel somewhat comfortable Detailed and long performance structure that help give everyone at least a chance to progress within the firm to the level they wish to go to. Easy to communicate with management.

      Cons

      Bonus structure is horrible and compensation is low. As hard as you work, you still may not get compensated. Way too much fluff from most of the partnership. They avoid confrontation at all costs and are almost laughable when it comes to bringing conflict to their attention. They need to make sure that they bring together their ideas more. Also a lot of people who are arrogant at the associate and senior associate level. No cohesion, people are just worried about themselves and that affects client delivery at times. People at PwC really need to embrace conflict and change more rather than just settle.

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

      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.

      Great place to start a career at and grow your skills, but hours and compensation are not optimal.

      Pros

      PricewaterhouseCoopers tends to have very knowledgeable and driven employees. One great benefit from working at PwC is that you can make your own experience what you desire if you show that you are competent and can handle responsibilities. Regardless of your staff class, you will find that you can be assigned quite challenging and interesting work. Within Advisory, staff training tends to be taken quite serious with a combination of computer-based, local office, and sometimes travel at different offices/locations. Knowledge sharing and collaboration across groups and individuals in disparate locations is emphasized and given a deal of support. There is a significant focus on providing actionable feedback to staff to help them improve themselves.

      Cons

      Working at PwC has tremendous benefits; however, there are also some downsides. Hours can be quite demanding and extremely dynamic (one week may be 40 hours while another could be 70). Compensation is not in line with competitors for individuals who are hired out of college and rise through the ranks; however, this may not be the case for experienced hires. PwC does not do enough to fill in gaps that are missed by internal training programs. It can be very difficult to convince your upper management that it is important to be sent to training for subjects that are directly related to your everyday work and could greatly improve your work.
