      Pros

      PwC is a very flexible company to work for, there are several opportunities to advance in your career. PwC provides you with coaches and mentors to help you advance in your career, so if you are willing to work had and meet the right people you can go far in this firm.

      Cons

      Some of the downsides is PwC is a large firm and sometimes you can get lost in the shuffle if you do not make yourself distinctive. The other downside is, if you are in a large office, there is a high possibility that you will be working alot of hours and feel as though you do not have a work life balance. The best thing to do in this situation is to make sure that you communicate with your team to importance of work life balance and take time off from work.

      Great for resume, not career.

      Pros

      Obviously, the name recognition is important for launching your career. There are many areas to gain general experience while trying to decide which path you would like to take within the company. The trainings they have set-up for employees, from new hires to partners, is outstanding. They make sure that everyone is extremely knowledgable. You have the opportunity to travel for work and for training to various places around the country, while staying in 4 star hotels and eating at the finest restauratnts in each city. Because the company is so large, it's easy to develop a network of friends.

      Cons

      The number one downside to working at PwC is the work-life balance. I understand the need to pay your dues, but when you work 80+ hours/week during busy season for 6+ months out of the year, you would at least like a bonus or some words of praise. Management expects a lot out of employees, but is not willing to give or be understanding of employees' needs. PwC makes a big deal out of the whole "work-life balance" idea, but that's just lip service. Sure, they give you the opportunity to take time off and work 4 tens during offseasons. However, nobody really is able to take advantage of those opportunities, and PTO goes unused. I guess that makes up for the lack of bonuses.

      Pros

      pros: The firm has global name recognition and having the name pwc on your resume tends to open doors or at the very least improve your chances of consideration for a position related to accounting or within the industry you specialize in. Benefits are very competitive. Most employees get atl east 15 days (3 weeks) of paid vacations. We frequently get additional days off during the holidays and around 4th of July. Salary and bonus is competitive, especially if you do well in the annual review process and get promoted.

      Cons

      Cons of working at PwC include the long hours (particularly if you are in the audit practice). During the months of January February and March every year - don't expect to see your loved ones much or have time for your hobbies and friends. Another con with working for the firm is you sometimes get lost in the shuffle since it is such a large organization. You have to be aggressive in networking, getting your name out there and pursuing your own development opportunities.
