Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Great first out-of-college job for the experience, but be mindful of the disastrous office politics.
Pros: Pros:
- decent pay for Columbia area (but not great)
- 3 weeks vacation and unlimited sick time
- "flex" Fridays and work-life balance 
- non monetary career development 
- you'll gain lots of different skills while working here
- getting PwC on your resume is huge
Cons: Cons:
- pay is only based on the Columbia area, so many employees leave for higher paying jobs in larger cities
- poor bonus structure. Less than 2% raise and bonus per year
- the MD (Norm) has unrealistic and abstract expectations. It's his way or no way.
- communication between project leaders (who are usually from core) and the Columbia leadership is nonexistent. Even if the project leaders think you do a great job, if Norm doesn't, you will not get a raise
- reinvestment activities (which are basically extracurricular activities outside of 40 hours) are expected in order to get ahead. If you don't, you will just be "average" in Norm's mind and not get promoted
