High pressure for performance reviews
Pros: It is a great company to have on your resume.  The best thing I like about pwc is that it has a high-ranking brand.  The employees are generally intelligent and you can sense this.  They are strong on management consulting and are a top-ranking Big 4 firm.
Cons: Each employee is heavily graded on value and performance.  They are called "PFF".  This can cause undue pressure, and in order to progress in a career here you must make good friends with upper management - there is a definite "good ol boys" circle and it becomes difficult for new experienced hires to get involved.  Many employees have started as Associates and have grown into upper management, it has a seemingly unwelcoming environment..
