Need to be a very specific type of person
Pros: Good reputation as a global firm and a global brand.
Cons: Horrible politics. You need to be “one of the pack” to standout enough to get chosen for the good jobs and be promoted past associate. From what I’ve seen, they are more likely to shaft you at the Auckland PwC as well if you’re a transfer - say goodbye to opportunities to show that you’re good for a promotion cause these will be given away to the locals and those in good favours with the managers.

Also, if you muck up once, “everyone talks” and nobody will want you as part of the team or leading the team. Unless you can get a good coaching family/manager that will stand up for you (most of these guys are too busy to really help), you won’t go far either.

Pay is poor, but that’s to be expected as you’re working for the “reputation”.
