Great place to work, as long as you pass your exams!
Pros: PwC is a great place to work with exposure to huge clients and important work. However the key to success is passing the accounting exams as when on a training contract that is all you should be focused on. No matter how hard you work, your future will hang in the balance depending on your results.

So as long as you are academic and are lucky to be taking the exams at the right time, its a great experience.
Cons: Very structured, you get promoted year on year as long as you don't make huge mistakes. Promotions, salary and everything in between based upon exams results so incentive to work hard for rewards is limited.
