I like the Firm
Pros: The firm is filled with career development opportunities to enable anyone who desires to tap into his/her strengths at becoming a value-added professional.  If you like learning new things.  If you like being around very smart people.  If you like being a part of the solution that eliminates business problems, then PwC is for you.  I am proud to work for the firm.  If one doesn't desire to stretch as a person, then PwC or any other professional services firm isn't for him/her.  The bottom-line is the people.  The people drive the business without a doubt.
Cons: If a person is coming from Industry, then it's a challenging transition to make; which isn't a negative, but it can become one if the person isn't flexible enough to adjust.  What you hear often is the amount of hours that we work each week.  This is true as each employee is expected to be fully billable on his/her projects, and addition, must allocate hours to internal initiatives to help grow the business.  If one isn't strong at time management, he will soon feel overwhelmed.
