Learn a lot, but job is your life
Pros: By getting thrown into it all, you become a very knowledgeable accountant very quickly. You get exposed to a lot of varying client situations and if you can stick it out long enough, you will receive more opportunities and abilities to rise up the ranks.
Cons: Work/Life Balance is practically non-existent. While everything upper management says is spot on, I don't see a lot of action being taken on the ground level. Client desires run the show at the expense of employees. You will always get pings or e-mails on days off/weekends asking you to "help the team" and work. This leaves no life outside of PwC since you effectively work almost 7 days a week for the entire year. Unfortunately, there is no monitoring of the load employees bear despite there being existing metrics that alert upper management to them happening.
