If you are set on the big 4, pick another firm
Pros: - Great place to have on your resume.
- Relatively easy to get hired.
- Little prior knowledge needed (they offer a lot of trainings )
- Promotion options available, regardless of talent (PWC usually promotes associates to senior associates after 3 years and senior associates to managers after an additional 3 years. This is assuming you get okay reviews, but realistically reviews mean nothing because you get a normal review unless you are in the top ten percent or the bottom ten)
- Easy behavioral question based interviews.
Cons: - It is like being in high school ( the partners are treated as deity and should they condescend to your level than you should be so lucky. Also you have to spend any free time you might have kissing up to those above you.
- They don't care about their employees (to them you are a number and if your utilization rate is lower than they think it should be you are inefficient)
- Low pay for long hours
- No work life balance
- Don't believe what they tell you in the recruiting process, most of the time the people that they send to do the recruiting on college campuses don't know what they are talking about. 

If you are just going to work there to get the big name, go to one of the other big 4 they usually promote faster.
