Use and abuse, then find a company that will actually value you
Pros: - Great people
- Great/ diverse experience opportunities
- Looks good on a resume apparently
- Working here will MAKE you become a more effective person (otherwise you'll sink)
Cons: -Everyone here takes themselves too seriously
-Forgoing human aspects of the job for more rigorous use of the many disjointed and inefficient systems PwC employs
- EXTREMELY focused on making money/ staff utilization (profitability ranges are very high in most cases) and yet leadership still threatens staff with layoffs if their utilization targets (which they aren't supposed to control) aren't high enough
- The prestige is self-perpetuating and a mirage of a racket. Paying staff peanuts to work double overtime while dealing with CPA is legalized exploitation - plain and simple. 

Be prepared to USE this company just as much as it uses you.  Get as much free training as you can and build solid network connections. The prestige this company has created about its brand was designed to suck you in, burn you out, and churn you out while making leadership look good.
