Pros

PWC is large firm, leader in the industry, a large reputable customer base. The calibar of employees is excellent, providing the ability to learn every day from co-workers and from interactions with clients in multiple industries. Performance expectations are high, so you are consistently working with the best. Although a large firm, there was the ability to do things at a local level to make change happen to improve the environment and business results locally. I worked at PWC when work/life balance programs were getting started and there was an openness to new ways of doing things.

Cons

Large. Need to use your internal network effectively to advance career.

Pros

Great opps for career development; fantastic client base; strong learning curve...as a trainee I have access to a wide variety of clients and am getting experience in a number of different tax fields. There is very good in-house training that would stand to you in any job - classes in IT, management, communications etc. In the Dublin Office there is a strong emphasis on keeping everyone, even the more junior employees, informed and empowered in relation to the work they are doing. There is also much emphasis on treating people with respect and on maintaining a good work life balance. Excellent staff facilities- gym, restaurant etc.

Cons

Sometimes I feel that there is too much emphasis on internal processes- chargeable hours, appraisal meetings, time-consuming internal training sessions etc - often these things can distract you from the job you are trying to do and can lead to a sense of distraction and lack of focus on client work. The emphasis on chargeable hours in particular, is very destructive- pitting colleague against colleague in what is essentially a very subjective game- one person might bill two hours for a simple letter, another would only bill half. Unfortunately though in this respect it is QUANTITY, not QUALITY, on which you are evaluated
