High highs, low lows
Pros: When landing certain roles with certain people, it can be fantastic working at PwC. They also have great family leave policies compared to most companies in the US (though there is always room for improvement). There are lots of great people who work here, and they do try (and sometimes succeed) in making it a forward-thinking, exciting place to work
Cons: New Advisory leadership doesn't seem to be investing as much in professional growth, people development, L&D and other such things; they hope people will do these things out of the goodness of their heard but don't want anyone to invest the time (or rather take the time out of the market and not be profitable) to contribute. These things are critical for consultants to be competitive in the market and to give a competitive edge. A lot of times the firm can get in its own way and this is frustrating and the antithesis to being productive. Also, the travel lifestyle is horrific. This is true of all consulting companies. But I expect that PwC, who preaches flexibility, would make more accommodations and work harder on local staffing options - ESPECIALLY for moms who have just returned from maternity  leave and cannot be on the road.
