Very little progression and no clear strategy
Pros: Good name on the CV. Good independence from partners (as long as you deliver on time and the clients pay the bills)
Cons: The key problem is promotions. Within the technology practice only one london based person has been promoted to Director in the last four years. 4 times as many have come from external hires or by buying companies and most of these individuals are much weaker then those incumbent within PwC.

The head of the technology practice has changed three times in as many years, which means that the big growth targets an supposed strategy are no closer of more achievable. Again each of these heads have been external and don't understand the wealth of talent which is within the firm - rather choosing to hire their mates from other companies on inflated grades.
