Work/Life “Flexibility “??
Pros: PwC has a lot of bright people working there. If you are a member of the “good ole boy” network, the salary can be good.
Cons: I was told by a partner, Work/Life “Balance” should be considered Work/Life “Flexibilty”. Interestingly...the “flexible” part usually comes at the expense of the employee.  On the consulting side, PwC is very demanding of people’s time. You could work over 40 hours at a client, have 12 hour travel time, and on Fridays, the firm will have quite a few internal meetings and expected activities. I feel they do not respect the employee’s personal time. Along with working long hours during the week, I’ve had to work quite a few weekends.  PwC promotes this behavior because the bonuses seem to be awarded based on your long hours and a lot of extra-curricular activities  If you put up personal boundaries, your bonus will be affected.  Quite a few people don’t take vacation days because they reward long hours.  Very sad.  I see a lot of people burning out.
