PwC slave
Pros: The name recognition is definitely the best reason to work at PwC.  When people hear the name they associate it with grueling hours and hard work which is all true so that alone will help you get in the door to where you really want to be.
Cons: -The coaching that they provide that is supposed to help you assimilate into the PwC culture as well as help guide you towards the goals you should be achieving, does nothing to that end.  It is a waste of time both for the coach and the coachee.  Of course this also depends on the person you get as a coach and the people you end up working with.  The organization is so large that it's more about how lucky you get then how hard you work.
-The nonexistence of the work/life balance.
