PwC's Transaction Service (TS)  - Valuation and Accounting Advisory
Pros: The work life balance was fantastic for financial service job living in NYC. The work was demanding at times but when I needed time off, I had no problems scheduling vacation time. I had over 3 weeks of vacation each year and I never had an issue with not being able to enjoy all of my vacation time. 
The culture at PwC is very collaborative. This is a value that the firm tries to embrace and I felt that most people were willing to assist on any question or issue. Most of the senior professionals were very accessible even for junior staff people.
The emphasis on training and developing the staff was great. My group at PwC spent enormous time and money to developing the staff to have the right skill sets.
Cons: There is a passive/aggressive culture is very prevalent in the firm. It seems that the firm was overly passive/aggressive. I found this culture to be disconcerting because I had difficulty getting timely and prompt feedback.
