Some impressive people, terrible culture
Pros: The latest technology in-house, remote working (if you ever get a chance) very nice office space. Good induction. Some really smart people in the business who will give you their time. My immediate team at my level were helpful and supportive. A nice name to have on your CV.
Cons: Coming from ‘industry’ as PwC puts it, I was truly shocked at the culture in this business. I’m not sure what year they live in, but the way junior employees were treated by manager and above, I’ve never seen before. Openly aggressive, patronising and willing to throw you under the bus at the drop of a hat. I feel bad for the grads coming through if they think this is what corporate life is. It isn’t.  Do a year and then go into industry, contribute to real change,  get paid better, treated better and have balance. 
The whole hot desk thing doesn’t work either. People become isolated from their teammates. Feel alone and under appreciated, look it up. It’s been proven to be a total fad. 
Training once out of induction is none existent.  
Internal meetings became ridiculous, I’ve never wasted so much time in pointless meetings as I did working at PwC.
