Great place to work, if you can keep up.

Advisory manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The firm has a constantly-changing environment, and new challenges every day. Within advisory, there are always new challenges and clients, and even if you are always doing the same type of work, it seems different because you apply it at different clients. Compensation is fair, but by no means extravagant.

Cons

The hours required sometimes can be difficult. 200 hours of overtime is "expected", and many people have over 400. It is also a fairly high-stress environment, especially as you rise up the ladder towards management. Finally, the firm stresses "work-life balance", and does make gestures towards it, but at the end of the day, if the client needs you, you're working.

Work hard and succeed, work average and be forgotten, slack off and be ready to be forced out.

Audit associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The PwC Name. Flexible hours during the summer months. Partners and managers knows that employees (seniors and associates) are working hard and they try to reward you (although the rewards are often a bit small). Extra days off given by upper management from time to time, also early office closings before holidays. Highly competitive environment.

Cons

Hours during busy season could be bad depending on client. Also, depending on industry, you could have close to 8 months of busy season. Very high staff turnover. Smaller scale engagement teams normally don't have enough staff. Lots of problems between HR and staff. Because of the highly competitive environment, backstabbing between team members is not rare.
