Great starting point, but for the majority it is not sustainable.
Pros: Working at PwC allows you to build a strong network of high performing individuals. It's a competitive environment, where you really test your limits to achieve high quality. You are able to gain exposure to a wide variety of clients and have numerous opportunities to step out of your comfort zone.
Cons: The downside to promoting competition with your peers is that everyone continues to try and outdo each other. This counteracts any sort of team atmosphere that could exist, and perhaps promotes the opposite. Everyone trying to outdo each other ultimately leads to excessive pressure and workloads as you continually attempt to improve. This causes people to get burnt out without a feeling of satisfaction.
