Pros

Good benefits, some supportive people. It's always the people that you miss when you leave a job. There are alot of great people who come to work here. Benefits are good, sometimes partners give extra days off per year or a $500 bonus, so those perks are nice. The work is given to you to help you learn and grow to the next level, so there are opportunities to grow your career. It's a good place to work with people from different countries and cultures. So there is the chance to take an assignment in another country, if you want.

Cons

Too much work and the pressure that comes with it. They say that Work/Life Balance is important, but the only important thing to them is getting it done, no matter what the cost to the employee. The work is meaningful, but the hours and expectations are ridiculous. I have been there long enough to see really good people burn out and leave. They liked the people they worked with, but the demands on their time were too much to keep that kind of pace continuous. Also, some of the managers are really rude to the billing staff and these are the people that collect their money.

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.
