Not ideal
Pros: I can't speak to advisory, tax, and othe client services as I work in internal firm services (marketing, HR, etc). But my opinions pretty much echo the other reviewers.

The best thing about working here are the perks and the ability to work remotely.
Cons: Like other reviewers say - they work you, and they work you hard! Even in internal services you are expected to take on additional projects, other than your main role. The firm seems to have a no temp policy which means everyone is expected to buck up and work on other projects. Im not sure why they can't just hire some temps to take care of some of the work. Though PwC gives generous amount of time to vacation, its difficult to take time off with the amount of work everyone has. I haven't had time off in almost 9 months!

After a few years, the hype of the perks wear off and you really want to look externally for a job, where mgmt appreciates your contributions and your needs and isn't afraid to add some resources (like temps) to help out the team.
