Experience level: Junior

Experienced Assurance Associate
Pros: - Great team-based environment; intelligent and interesting coworkers
- Strong growth opportunities in audit and accounting spaces
- Decent employee benefits (flexible when less busy, decent benefits package)
Cons: - As an associate, you have very little agency in terms of what clients you're staffed to, which also involves where you'll be commuting day-to-day and the PwC teams you'll be working with
- There were some really poor managers in the SF office that simply did not value their associates' well-being, which leads to burnout and turnover, especially for associates
- (Bay Area specific) The firm has not increased salaries to match the rising cost of living in the Bay Area. This too increases turnover because after 1-2 years at PwC, associates can find another Bay Area job that pays more and requires less hours/stress.
