There are a lot of talented driven people who often focus more on the client than the staff
Pros: There is a lot of diversity, talent, breadth of knowledge, and global reach within PwC.  The network of resources and people are very enriching.  People stay more due to the close group of people they work with rather than the PwC name.
Cons: The work life balance, administrative bureacracy, and mentoring are spotty.  Additionally, clients come before the employee.  I have often seen new staff poorly utilized or guided, meaning it takes longer for them to develop the appropriate skills or they become disenchanted.  Additionally, the recruiting effort has become poorer during my tenure where many potentially talented candidates were inadvertently not called back or offers were mistakenly made to the wrong candidates.
