      No "up or out" culture - for better and for worse

      Senior associate - advisory
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly environment, very considerate of employees needs and you have control over the projects you are assigned. Work is challenging but not exhausting (probably 50 hours / week on a typical week with spikes of up to 80 near deadlines) and people are caring and good and very interested in your personal development.

      Cons

      Slower to promote compared to other management consultant companies, year over year raises and bonuses are good, but less than competitive for MBAs, talent level is not consistent (some are extremely capable, some less-so)

      Great firm if you don't care about having a work-life balance

      Audit associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Continuous learning opportunities- you'll find yourself always doing something that you haven't done before, the nature of the work puts you outside of your comfort zone and pushes you to learn Good team work - people are big four are smart and always willing to share their knowledge Moving up the ladder - you know when you'll make to what position, and it's generally quicker than corporate just because it's a big firm and has openings Fine compensation and benefits - it's not bad, can't compare to other high paying jobs like IT, IBD, trading etc., but not bad Career Opportunities - we get a lot of emails from head hunters, they know big four train people well. But if you are looking for something that's not accounting/internal audit it may be a little bit tricky.

      Cons

      No work-life balance - if you don't mind a 90% work 10% life this is the place for you. They talk about busy season as if there's an "off season", but actually during the supposedly lighter season you are working at least 40-hour weeks like any other job's normal hour, and if you get put on a 3/30, 6/30 or 9/30 year end guess what -you'll just have many "busy seasons" every year. Terrible commute - for at least 4 months in a year I drive 2 hours each way to my client, and working more than 14 hours per day and at least 6 days a week during those months. Other months are generally a normal 40 hour week, but most times still need to commute for at least an hour each way. This was fine when I started, but it gets really really annoying. Cultures - This varies by offices, so you may love it or hate it. But I can say that everyone I get along with left the firm pretty quickly.

      Poor Work/Life Balance, Boring, Unsatisfying Work

      Risk assurance associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      PwC is a huge company so there is tons of opportunity to learn and work for a lot of different clients. Decent salary Good bonus structure

      Cons

      Unexpected travel - they'll just tell you you have to be somewhere for weeks or months at a time and you don't get a say in it Awful office conditions/presence. If you are in the office (which a lot of people rarely ever are), you'll be sitting at a cubicle not speaking to anyone. No "culture" to speak of. No sense of teamwork with other emnployees.
