Pros

Working for PwC first of all means working with great people. It's hard to imagine any other place where you can get so much support from your peers. Besides, there's always a challenge you have to face. There is no time to be bored or degrading; you just keep moving forward. Comparing what my team do to what people with similar jobs do in other companies I have to admit that we use the best techniques and tools, so it is a good place here for professional development. International environment is also adding some flavour to everything you do here.

Cons

Speaking about downsides, first of all it is the work/life balance. The job in itself is interesting, fascinating, but there is just too much of it, and spending most of you time at work cannot be the first priority for everyone, though the Management does not seem to care. Comparing salaries and benefits with the market, I would say they are more or less the same, but going back to the work/life balance, unfortunately I can't say that the job pays too much. Not all see career opportunities for themselves and there is little proper work done in this direction.

Pros

good benefits, free comprehensive physical health exams (every 3 years for <35 years old, every year >35). get a good experience in working with teams and work with many companies in many different industries. Global work opportunities for senior associates and above.

Cons

salary may seem reasonable, but for the hours that you work, pay is really low. by going into industry, you could easily make 50% more doing the same job you do at PwC, but with less pressure. Managers have their favorite staff that they like to use on their engagements, while some staff are more or less left out in the cold. Expectations are that staff are to perform the work and develop business (which should be the responsibility of management), but not get paid accordingly.

Pros

The benefits are very good

Cons

The management in my group was thick in politics and the decisions they made reflected this. Not the best decisions for the company but for the decision makers themselves. There was no transperence there.
