Great Place to Start - Great Place to Leave as well (Especially now)
Pros: - Great for your resume and great opportunity to learn in a fast paced environment where everyone around you in smart. 
- Fun place as well with working with all people your age. 
- Benefits are good too compared to other places! 
-
Cons: -Pay is low for all the hours you work and your life will revolve around the job. You can see the path ahead of you (seniors, managers) and you see that their entire life is about their job. If this is for you, then stay for the rest of your life.  If not, get the name on your resume and get going. 
- The culture in our office is everything needs to be done right now. Everyone takes job pretty seriously so the word "crisis" is used often, when it actually isn't (crisis = someone dying, not a new TB a week before the return is due).
- Really shady stuff since Tim Ryan came on. All the stuff with the manager bonus, and pay is really secret all of a sudden. Used to be transparent about everything. Keep saying "Record high revenue" but pay decreases for the "meat" of the firm (managers) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
-No upward feedback from an associate perspective. Snapshots are always from the top, which I think crushes any other view point from the bottom. PwC needs to give the receiver of the snapshot a chance to speak their mind of the engagement, instead of contacting HR if you disagree. Needs to be a two-way communication.
-No work life balance. Your work is your life here. Flexibility = now you can take your work home and work all the time (great until you get busy all the time then you're just working all the time).
