Great learning opportunities, amazing people but low salaries
Pros: In my 3 years in Technology Consulting I genuinely learned so much. Almost everyone I worked with was extremely smart, so that was key to learning as you go. Also great internal/external training opportunities. Clients and projects were usually high-importance which made me feel like the work I was doing was valuable. Some flexibility in choosing what to do.
Cons: Of course, as with any organisation, there are the occasional simpletons one would have to deal with, however I think at PwC those are kept to a minimum. Although the organisation is on occasion very up-to-date and modern, there is quite a bit of bureaucracy. As a person based in the Belfast office, it felt as if we were occasionally treated as somewhat less important than the rest of the employees from say the More London offices. The year end evaluation process is also very secretive and requires you to be a bit of a (putting it nicely) teachers' pet. Salaries and generally quite low, but that's standard for the big names in the industry.
