Employment status: former

My experience was a very good one in which I learned a great deal and was very fairly compensated for my work.
Pros: PwC compensation to hours ratio was very fair.  The people I worked with were very knowledgeable which enabled me to learn a great deal during my time there.  Greater emphasis is put on getting the work done than specific hours that one works which allows for flexibility for people who need it.  PwC is very concerned with maintaining a work-life balance, so employees are given extra days off during various holidays during the year as well as floating holidays and 22 vacation days.  People regularly took two week vacations.
Cons: There is office politics at play as usual, but as this is the case at just about any large organization it is not particularly newsworthy other than the fact that you had better hitch your wagon to a rising star rather than a waning one if you can help it.
