Overall "Great Place to Work," with a few caveats...
Pros: PwC has a strong culture of learning and coaching (though YMMV depending on your practice, line of service, and coaching team), which pushes people to be self-motivated to grow in their professional technical and soft skills. It's hard not to feel motivated when surrounded by people who are the best in their field. The opportunities to step up and lead are also pretty widely available if you want to take them, and taking that initiative is often rewarded with regards to progression and compensation.
Cons: As one of the more risk-averse consulting, tax, and audit firms, PwC has a habit of being a bit behind-the-curve with emerging trends and concepts. There are often big rallying cries behind big corporate initiatives meant to drive more innovative thinking, diversity, and work-life balance, but they often ring hollow when the details are either murky or inconsistently applied. There is also just some strange decision-making at the leadership level, not all of it "bad" per se, but questionable whether there's an understanding of the real impacts of these sweeping decisions on the people doing the work.
