PwC is a great place to work!
Pros: PwC has an amazing culture that promotes people as fast as their abilities demonstrate they are ready.  The opportunities for professional growth are unlimited.  We work with the largest and most sophisticated clients in the world and help them solve their most complex challenges.  The camaraderie among the professionals at PwC is outstanding.  We all help each other and always there for each other.  PwC cares about the community as well, encouraging all staff levels to volunteer including during regular work hours, sponsoring community service days, and supporting charities all over the world with dollars and talent.
Cons: PwC clients expect and demand our full commitment, and deservedly so.  We are compensated accordingly, and sometimes giving 120% means working some intense hours.  It's invigorating but requires energy and stamina.  

PwC in the US is a "regulated profession" due to Sarbanes Oxley and other regulatory requirements.  Sometimes this means a rigid set of rules that can seem stifling.  PwC takes its professional responsibilities extremely seriously, and we all feel proud to work in an environment of uncompromising ethical standards even if sometimes the time spent on administrative tasks can seem excessive.
