Consulting
Pros: Great group of people at this firm. Consulting has a reputation of having egocentric people however, I didn't have that experience at PwC... Most people were fantastic to work with but you still have to "keep up appearances" so no surprises there. I enjoyed my time there and the projects I worked on were challenging and rewarding. It takes some networking to find the right projects but once you do it is a great experience in learning.
Cons: Consulting is a very unique career and anyone who chooses this career field should be prepared for the challenges it comes with.
With that said PwC itself has gone through some changes after the acquisition of Strategy& and getting a project is much harder than it used to be with all the mouths to feed now. 

The whole management process is also a bit messy as one does not have a traditional manager who is heavily invested in your career - some consulting companies are better at this than others at managing this problem and PwC is not one of the good ones. It can feel like you are on an Island most of the time.
