Good place to start your career
Pros: - Wide scope of work and range of clients. If you work really hard and prove your worth, there are a lot of great opportunities. If you put in the hard work, you can become an expert in the area that you choose to specialize in. 
- A lot of good people although as always in Big 4 many friends will leave in a few years 
- Good name on your resume
- working in the PwC network gives your lots of international exposure from the type of clients / work you do and with secondment opportunities
Cons: These comments apply to the Singapore firm 
- Dysfunctional office politics in the Singapore firm, especially in the past few years
- No work life balance for people who actually do work 
- Some teams in the Singapore firm tend to recognize people who can jockey their way up through politicking, but are not good team players (take credit from other's work) and are not technically strong in their area of specialization (which is bad for business because clients engage Big 4 for subject matter experts) 
- Insufficient onboarding and opportunities for mid-streamers and secondees. In some teams no real-time honest feedback are provided so many staff end up being underutilized. "Stars" are overloaded with work which is not sustainable
