The future is bright
Pros: Powerful brand opens doors. Great new office at Barangaroo. Big on flexible work and diversity. If you deliver you will be rewarded handsomely. High calibre pool of professionals to draw from for assignment work. Great for offering multi-faceted solutions for clients due to the broad range of service offerings within the firm. They take further education and development very seriously and back individuals who wish to add qualifications (subject to successful business case)
Cons: Although it's PwC Australia is one firm in a global network of firms, internally it feels a little divided as Partners and Directors are assessed based on bottom line of their own business units yet there is overlap in services provided between some business units...can make people defensive and inhibits true collaboration between some parts of the business... difficult problem to solve although I admit this problem is acknowledged and is being fixed gradually. Also pays less than ops outside the Big Four - they tend to use the carrot of promotion to get more out of people for less. Final con is there is a lot of process and the internal IT systems are inefficient.
