      It's good, not great for creatives.

      Pros

      The work life balance is by far one of the best I've ever experienced. Light, easy going environment. However, this comes at a cost. The cost of going with the flow. Going against the grain or having a strong opinion with upper management can cost you your job.

      Cons

      Due to the nature of what PwC is know for, this makes it very difficult to innovate creatively. From a creative perspective, getting approval for tools necessary for the trade takes several layers of approval approval which can take months even years.

      "Grow Your Own Way" is not attainable unless your "way" is onto another job

      Pros

      The training and the client base is the best. If you pick a Big 4 firm, pick PwC! On-boarding is some of the best in the world in my opinion, and if you're not unlucky you will have a solid network of coaches and coworkers who can help you get amazing experience quickly.

      Cons

      The San Jose location has really become a black hole of despair. The hours are ungodly, and be prepared to be completely thrown for a loop schedule wise at any time. Live in Campbell? You now work on an IPO in San Francisco! Just finished a tough year-end and have a week unassigned? Here, have another year end that bleeds into the weekend! I've also worked with seriously rude people that made me question my sanity for working here, but I don't know what's worse- people yelling at you, or people resigned to spending their whole lives in an audit room. If you're unlucky, you'll never quite get your network sorted, and if you're on a hard client ,you are most likely stuck there. The perks of a big company ultimately do not outweigh all of these problems. If you want to really be a major part in the success of where you work, this isn't the job for you. It really does have that "cog in a wheel" feeling.
