Advisory at a crossroads
Pros: Great people at the entry and middle tiers. Good benefits. Great exposure to Fortune 100 companies and to learn a lot in a very short period of time.
Cons: The Advisory practice is fundamentally at odds with their audit practice. PwC is competing against itself, and audit usually wins. Advisory executive leadership is mostly former audit partners, and they have little experience running a consulting practice. Bringing on ex-Bearing Point individuals has helped, but it will never overcome the core issue in that we are a company divided.
