Great Place for Learning
Pros: PwC has a great training program and their staff is learning from some of the brightest in the industry.  It certainly helps to work at a firm like PwC for someone just breaking into the industry.  Seniors and Managers are generally knowledgeable and willing to help others.  Workload in the SF office is pretty flexible as long as employees are up front and honest with management.  The overall culture is very young and vibrant.  There are a lot of sponsored and non sponsored events that make to help build comraderie.
Cons: It's still a client service industry so employees must be ready to forfiet some of their personal life to last minute projects and statutory deadlines.  Working on weekends are common during the tax busy season but some have worked longer during the week to not come in on weekends.  The office is very political and perception over substance is key to an employee’s success.
