PwC Advisory is a great place to work
Pros: I am constantly impressed by leadership, my colleagues and our new hires.  It is nice to be surrounded by committed, sharp, engaged individuals and if I were not I would have left long ago.  PwC is also very long-term focused rarely reducing staff (often at the expense of that years bonuses) but I would rather forgo a bonus so my colleagues can continue to have a job.  It also keeps us prepared for when times pick up unlike some of the other Big 4 who will go through lay-offs and then hire the same people back in a few months - that is ice cold.
Cons: The travel can be brutal on work/life balance, but that is more a factor of being a Consultant and I'm not sure what PwC can do about that.  Often having a "local" client is worse - sure you go home every night but the commute can be upwards of 1.5 hours on top of already long days!
