Has its Ups and Downs
Pros: The greatest PRO of working at PwC is the exposure to a vast amount of industry knowledge and companies that you won't get anywhere else. Starting a career in Public Accounting will open up several opportunities when one decides to leave.
Cons: Due to various needs on clients throughout the firm, it is hard for someone to specialize in an area and become a true Subject Matter Expert (SME) unless you came in with that knowledge. The nature of working at a client-service firm will create unnecessary stress and unreasonable deadlines. Internal politics and egos of managers/directors/partners in certain practices at the firm make working at PwC unbearable.
