Mixed bag
Pros: pros: The firm has global name recognition and having the name pwc on your resume tends to open doors or at the very least improve your chances of consideration for a position related to accounting or within the industry you specialize in.  Benefits are very competitive.  Most employees get atl east 15 days (3 weeks) of paid vacations.  We frequently get additional days off during the holidays and around 4th of July.  Salary and bonus is competitive, especially if you do well in the annual review process and get promoted.
Cons: Cons of working at PwC include the long hours (particularly if you are in the audit practice).  During the months of January February and March every year - don't expect to see your loved ones much or have time for your hobbies and friends.  Another con with working for the firm is you sometimes get lost in the shuffle since it is such a large organization.  You have to be aggressive in networking, getting your name out there and pursuing your own development opportunities.
