Not a real consulting firm
Pros: - Big name, you need at least one big-4 name on your resume if you want to be in consulting
- Smart people
- Better salary than E&Y and KPMG
- PwC dont sweat on small stuff like using corporate phone for personal needs, going beyond eating budget. This is a big issue in Deloitte and E&Y  were they  micro manage your spending.
Cons: - PwC has grown like crazy, its not a consulting firm anymore. They are more like staff augmentation firm. You join a client for a year and help them in their daily chores. Its a glorified outsourcing firm. There was a time when more than 1000 employees, including hires from top business school, were reviewing paper mortgage files, a job which needs high school degree.
- If you are interested in technology consulting then look somewhere else.
- PwC does not match your skill set with projects. You could be an energy expert but will be assigned to a risk and regulation/ compliance engagement.
- If you are an expert in some field or want to be an expert, then PwC is not a good choice. PwC celebrates people who are jack of all trades and master of none.
- You really need a God Father if you want to grow in PwC. It doesn't matter how good reviews you have or how good your deliverable are.
