No Work Life Balance & Too Many "Managers"
Pros: If you do your work you can skate by and remain a Senior Associate forever, since you have to be severely underperforming in order to get fired from the company. This was a major complaint that I had, since I was one of the individuals that always had to do 10X the work, due to underperformers who no one could count on.
Cons: Worked with PwC for almost five years. The company has some good individuals; however, over the course of five years I saw most, if not all of those highly skilled/qualified individuals leave for better opportunities due to the politics and lack of advancement offered at PwC. The company is all about how long you have worked somewhere, rather than what you have actually done to advance your project or company. They are also stubborn to feedback from the client. The clients provided direct feedback regarding individuals (e.g., Managers) who were not pulling their weight on the project, and nothing was done to resolve the situation and satisfy the client's complaints. If you want to work long days, nights, and weekends and see you salary get slight bumps each year, even if you are a top performer, then PwC is the company for you.
