Had a Great 14 Year IT Career Before Outsourcing Reigned Supreme and Destroyed US IT from the Inside Out
Pros: -Great work-life balance
-Always a strong focus on people and values
-Quality benefits package, although the health care premiums have skyrocketed in recent years
Cons: PwC has went through a pretty big transformation over the last few years.  While change as a whole is pretty regular at PwC (and the rest of the corporate world), the focus on outsourcing as many of the US IT jobs as they could is/was very disappointing.  The quality of IT at PwC dropped tremendously as a result and will likely never return to where it was.  Compensation in the form of salaries, raises and bonuses essentially dried up at the same time that leadership began their all-out focus on outsourcing.  One can only surmise that leadership's goal was to get the tenured IT staff who still had jobs frustrated enough to move on so they could be replaced with more junior, lower salaried staff.
