Think inside the box. This is the box.
Pros: Sounds and looks like a great job on paper; well above-average benefits and competitive pay I suppose
Cons: PwC has many employees in many contexts doing many things. So take my point of view with a big grain of salt, but that said, software developers should avoid this company like the plague.

In a good case you will end your career as a manager or perhaps director of a group that writes reports.

There are a lot of politics going on even by the standards of a large organization, and software engineers at the firms are judged by accountants and consultants who freely admit their lack of qualification. 

Teams are dysfunctional and combative at times, and management ranges from ineffective to counterproductive. Over the past few years the firm has been hiring new associates and seniors but nobody really knows what they are doing let alone what the next fellow is doing. 

If you are a CPA then you would be foolish not to check the firm out.

If you are a dev then you are foolish to think an accounting firm is going to have anything resembling a software development culture and methodology.
