The campus speeches and printed materials about PwC do not mirror the actual culture...watch your back!
Pros: It looks great on your resume.
Cons: Your experience completely depends on the group you get to work with/for and your assigned client(s).  Unfortunately, I worked with a hell Director that had no life herself and therefore did not allow anyone on our team to have a life.  They contuniously preach (and put in print) the importance of work/life balance, but behind the scenes (and definitely not in print), they put unrealistic demands on Management and Staff which makes it nearly impossible to have a life.  And unfortunately they do not currently have the amount of work available for individuals to make a choice.  Additionally, moving ahead in the Firm does not depend on your quality of work but on who you know and how well the Partners like you and unfortunately the office I was in contains a large number of "good ole boy" Partners that are still resistant to women moving ahead.
