Great opportunity, but don't stay too long
Pros: When I first started at PwC, I was offered great career advancement and challenging assignments.  Every project I was on was different, although not always exciting.  The team I worked with was collaborative, smart, and motivated, and I felt I could trust my coworkers.  The coaching culture within PwC is quite good, although it dropped off significantly once I reached Manager.
Cons: Once you break Manager, the job gets very political and cutthroat.  I worked for several Directors and Partners I did not respect.  Icy cold Partners with no people skills.  A focus on selling work that leads us to pursue opportunities where we have no expertise, which doesn't have the customer's best interests in mind.
