Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Long hours, good benefits, decent pay, huge name
Pros: Benefits are pretty good
* "flexible" work schedule options (note that at PwC "flexibility" definitely goes both ways -- the firm expects you to flex when it needs you to as well)
* performance bonus generally fair
* above average pay increases yearly
Cons: Working 9 to 5 (or 9 to 6) really isn't possible. Everyone has a smartphone and people are expected to be responsive at all times. Even if you're only at the office for 8 hours a day, you'll still be expected to keep your phone handy. Worse, your performance is judged relative to your peers, which can breed a pretty competitive environment if you're on the bench and have lower than normal utilization.
