Pros

The name recognition of the firm. The paid time off. Continuing education.

Cons

Unreasonably high expectations regarding utilization. Unreasonably high expectations regarding client service. Lack of communication between partners and senior management to staff. The different treatment of the different lines of service/groups within the lines of service, and the perception of the different groups. e.g. International Assignment Services versus Transfer Pricing.

Pros

PwC is definitely a great place to work. There are a lot of perks like free food, breakfasts, prizes, cash cards, and coffee treats paid by management. There also lots of benefits such as 4 week paid vacations if worked there for 2 years, unbelievable health insurance, unlimited sick days, 3 week paternity leave, maternity leaves, and a pension system. There are a lot of smart people here and the partners and directors are very knowledgeable. You learn a lot every day and are challenged 4 out of 5.5 days at the office (that's right, 5.5 days, which includes half a day on Saturday). Starting out, the pay is really good but I don't think the pay is comparable to the other three firms once you've been there. PwC is ranked #1 in the Houston market.

Cons

The one thing I don't like the most being at PwC, or any other Big 4 in general, is that we work way too many hours. Sometimes, you see life flying by and don't realize that 4 years went by. I wish there was more of a down season. The dental benefits aren't the greatest but what dental plan is good. There are Spot Bonuses per quarter for staff not in management; however, if you are in management, you don't get your bonus until September. Where is the motivation there. I think PwC is also too nit picky that they overlook the small details of making life at the firm better (i.e., jeans on friday, too concerned about profits and ignoring the life balance of the employees, etc...)
