Project Manager in Client Service (MLP Tax Practice)
Pros: Great learning opportunity surrounded by the best and the brightest talent.  Everyone is very professional and driven to succeed.  You gain a lot of experience that is marketable when you decide to leave a big 4 accounting firm.  Just having the name on your resume gives you instant credibility in my experience.  People know you are a high caliber employee if you worked at PwC.
Cons: Management expects a lot from you (compensation reflects this - ie. high pay).  They firm tries to promote work life balance but at the end of the day you have to decide how much of your life you want to be work.  I found most people gain the experience by working in public accounting then go work in industry (often for a former client) for better work life balance.  It is easy to get burned out.  Seasonal work can make it difficult to stay long term especially as you begin to establish a family.
