Good place to start but don't stay too long
Pros: - Surrounded by young like-minded colleagues who are also pursuing their CPAs.  I've met friends at PwC and remained friends long after we all left the firm
- Good socials and Christmas parties
- Good place to start your career right out of college
- People were able to take unpaid leaves during the summer for up to 6 weeks
Cons: - Chronically understaffed leading to long hours all year round (not just busy season)
- Low morale, almost everyone was looking for their next role
- Highly political, bonuses and promotions were largely based on relationships with senior management
- Lack of career progression, it was very difficult to switch from audit into other departments. Even when you do, audit would have "clawbacks" during busy season
