Great place to launch your career
Pros: Countless opportunities - you can try out different industries and groups which is perfect for people just starting their careers but don't want to specialize in a particular field right away. Overall, I think compensation is not bad comparative to market (other Big4's). PwC is very tech enabled so you'll be working with great software and also there is a ton of automation in place that eliminates the need for you to do repetitive tasks, and this allows you to focus on learning the actual concepts.
Cons: Expectation is that most people will leave within the first 5 years. This can change the dynamic of your work and your experience since you might be working with someone above you that has less experience on your projects than you have. I found the worst thing about working in the San Francisco office is that the Big4 cannot compete in compensation against other companies in the market, and for this reason we lost a lot of great talent and really impacted me personally as I'm constantly working with a different management team.
