Advisory Associate
Pros: There is interesting work to be done in the Advisory department. 
It's also a brilliant way to kickstart your career with plenty of learning opportunities in leadership and stakeholder management, which looks great on your CV.
Cons: You can be sent out on long term engagements away from the main office which can be isolating.
There is often a large amount of overtime to be done, PwC will give you unlimited time off in lieu for your overtime which is better than the other Big 4, but often requests to take this time off are denied and when getting the overtime paid out directly, the value of those hours really isn't worth doing the overtime. Also while they do offer unlimited overtime it is only when a manager approves it, often overtime can go unapproved so you get no compensation for it.
