Switched to PwC, quality of life went way up
Pros: Moved over to PwC from the legal field and could not be happier with vast improvement in my quality of life for several reasons:
- Projects are challenging and you're given work based on ability not seniority.  You are trusted to get your work done, most managers are very good at not micro-managing. Way less stress just for the sake of stress.
- Creativity and innovation valued, working with diverse and inclusive teams means that everyone learns something from our varied approaches.  Better project outcomes too.
- Time off, benefits, and perks are amazing.  Your compensation barely scratches the surface - the best is paying for your cell phone service, including hot spot -- I can work when and where I need b/c of that.
- Flexibility isn't just talk- if they can help you make work work for you, they will.  It's not a perfect balance on a day-to-day basis, but I spend way more time in an average week on myself and my family than ever before.
Cons: No job is perfect, and working at PwC is no exception. However, at PwC most rough things can also be good things:
- Hours can be long, but leadership always open to hearing ideas to improve efficiency
- Continuous improvement is expected, which can be hard on a personal level to always be self-assessing, but people care and want to help you progress
