Great place to build a foundation but you need to leave between years 3-5 or you will hurt your career growth potential.
Pros: Amount of knowledge that you will learn. Working in a team environment. Fantastic client base. Interaction with tons of smart people from CFO's of clients to Partners at PwC.  You also have basically summers off if you want it and have flexibility to work from home.
Cons: Vastly underpaid (assuming you have a CPA).  I left PwC making $76,000 of total compensation and in year 1 of my new job made around $150,000 total compensation.  Note - I worked in the alternative investment industry at PwC, which lined me up for a unique opportunity as an assistant controller at a Private Equity firm.
