Its good if you know the trade else its a nightmare
Pros: 1. PwC is a LLP company owned by partners - the partners are the powerhouse and the company revolves around them if you are in a partner's good book - sky is the limit - I have seen colleagues getting 30% salary hike double promotion and other perks
2. Big Four has its own advantage for further employment - other companies recognize and appreciate the experience
Cons: 1. Partners are powerhouse - if your are not in their good books then either you dont exist or your life in pwc is short lived - a general trend in these companies is that people either stay 10-15 years or 2 years (first year default rating second year bad rating)
2. Big fours dont have bench - so you are supposed to work on 2 projects simultaneously with 100 % billing in each - minimum because you should be suprised to see people working on 5 projects at the same time - and I dont mean engagement - I mean full fledged development testing work
2. Partners are the powerhouse - and hence no process - I dont know why they have a human resource department because they are pretty much non existent at line level
3. You get to work on open source only - since buying products afftect project margins 
4. If you travel onsite you will be given a daily per diem - accomodation and travel costs only - per-diem is so low you would eventually spend from your pocket if you smoke or drink
5. Rating charts goes to the partners - if you are on good books you get good ratings if you dont exist you get average if you are on bad books you get bad rating 
6. rating 4 puts you in performance improvement program where you will be asked to bring in projects and revenues in a span of 2 months (manager onward everyone is fired in this manner)
7. No additional perks - travel is not provided - food is average and 50% subsidized
8 work life balance sucks - your clients will beg you to go to sleep and take a break/rest - but if you work on 5 projects sleep rest family kids are out of question
9. Not good for freshers - you will get training on floor - which in itself is a very bad concept
