PwC is the place to be!
Pros: During my internship, I learned so much about the advisory practice, as well as about PwC's corporate culture.  I was able to contribute to meaningful assignments and see how applicable my accounting degree is in the real-world.  I enjoyed applying my critical thinking skills and my accounting background to real-life tasks and projects.  In addition to the work opportunities I experienced at PwC, I also had a chance to meet the many people that build PwC's culture through various other networks, such as affinity groups and Toastmasters.  Overall, I have been thrilled with my internship, and I could not have asked for a more fulfilling and valuable experience.  This experience has been the perfect supplement to enhance my classroom education.
Cons: I really did not hit any downsides during my nine week internship.  I was assigned to challenging, meaningful projects, and everyone really made me feel part of the PwC team.  Everyone at the office is very ambitious, so they definitely work hard-- but they know how to play hard too.  They hosted numerous social activities, where you can see your co-workers outside of the work environment-- events such as bowling, baseball games, wine tasting, etc.
