Pros

Great place to learn, lots of career opportunities. Overall PwC is a good place to learn and grow professionally. The job is almost always challenging and once you find the path you wish to follow managers are usually supportive in helping staff reach their goals.

Cons

Too many rules and often finding out what the correct process to follow is more time consuming than doing the actual work. From a staff level you often see decisions about your career made around you and managers will often not solicit your input.

Pros

You will work with very skilled and talented people on great clients. Thus, it is a great place to learn and to develop as a professional. Flexibility is available for those who are "on top of their game". High performance is rewarded. New tax staff are encouraged to rotate through various groups and are required to get diverse training. This provides a broad skill set to build upon. You will attend a national training for a week every year and local trainings and online training is always available if you have the time. The San Jose office is very oriented toward technology clients and venture capital clients.

Cons

Just the normal stuff you would expect working at a large client service organization -- resource managment issues and quite a bit of admin. Lots of hours at times. Clearly working for a big four accounting firm is nothing like working for the government. If you are looking for a eight to five job then most of the time this isn't it. Overtime is part of the deal but doesn't have to occur while you are at your desk. Beyond office hours no one really cares if you are at your desk or not. If you get your work done right and on schedule it will show up in your reviews and you'll be rewarded for it.

Pros

The Flexibility of being able to move to other areas within the firm. This move does not happen immediately but it does happen. Also work/life balance is highly respected. The techincal tax assignments can be very challenging and interesting. You are exposed to numerous issues within finance and tax immediately.

Cons

For employees who have law degrees or graduate degrees and practice Tax, there is an extraordinary amount of administrative work that one has to take care of while also working on technical tax matters. Administrative duties can take up to several hours each day.
