Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Confirmed

I work is Risk Assurance performing IT audit and controls testing (primarily SOX and third party assurance).
Pros: The experience is great. I learn a lot every day. I get to travel internationally. I get to work with driven and intelligent coworkers. PwC has good training programs that help us develop. PwC is a big Firm so there are a variety of jobs and experience you can gain, in a variety of different places.
Cons: There seems to always be more work than there are staff to perform it. Turnover is high, which makes it difficult to improve the work environment. Demands can be unreasonable. The culture at PwC encourages focusing more and more at work, at the expense of personal health, family, and other priorities. Some of the people you report to can be very difficult to work with because of this cut throat culture.
