Senior Associate
Pros: Great training program for the graduates, intensive training and the culture is great to start off. PWC was great for what it was, the name on your CV and the chance to work across different industries.
Cons: Lack of opportunities to step up and take responsibility, penalised in year end moderation if you are working on projects in a field different than your team despite bringing in revenue. Belfast office culture is the worst I experienced in the UK, Partners are unapproachable, in London they make time for staff  - even though they are extremely busy. Belfast office culture is very forced, a lot of two facedness and staff seem to get promoted on likeability rather than capabilities. There are a lot of staff at manager and senior manager level who lack the skills required and so extra pressure is placed on those underneath them.
