Assurance Senior Associate (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 13, 2013
Pros: amazing work life balance
Cons: you do not work in public accounting to make hedge fund money
PwC provided me with a fantastic background on how to grow and learn with some of the brightest individuals in the industry. The work life balance is amazing as you grow with the firm.

Great Pay but Good Ole Boy Network
Manager (Former Employee), Tampa Flroida – May 13, 2013
Pros: pay, bonus, time off
Cons: nothing is off the record, good ole boy network
Great Pay, but you are only as good as your last project. You can quickly go from super star to super nothing. Very tight good ole boy network. Female managers come and go but the same men are always there. You will definetly learn alot about technology. Don't trust HR.

1 miserably rotten apple ruins the bunch...
Market Implementation Specialist (Former Employee), McLean, VA – May 10, 2013
Pros: long lunches, proximity to tysons i & ii, salary + benefits
Cons: management, hr, review cycle execution, management.
PwC taught me many things. The most important would be how to NOT be an effective manager and never trust anyone, specifically IFS HR.

The hardest part of this job was the inability to be in multiple places at once, as well as the continuous inability to please management.

There was little to no work/life balance. In fact, I was told it was an inconvenience – more... to my co-workers when my doctor to placed me on immediate short-term disability. I would say unsupported is an understatement.

They say people leave careers because of other people. This has never been more true. Had I been supported, respected, and encouraged, I would 100% still be with this firm. – less

Productive and fun workplace
Associate - Banking Capital Market and Insurance (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 4, 2013
Pros: seminars, training courses, great networking
A typical day for me in PwC can be very exciting and fast-paced. A day starts with group meetings, which sometimes include daily news and updates on influence of new industry trends on our clients, can be quite fascinating. The whole group can therefore exchange their progress and insights on certain projects. That allows people to take a peek over – more... other projects. Then everyone will go back to their corner and pick up their work. Lunch are occationally provided to whoever attend the seminars/discussions.

The firm provides industry-focused Assurance and Tax service worldwide, while excels in teaming and comprehensive understanding on Multinational corporations' industry and business problems.

A day in busy season can be quite long and though, but people are allowed days off afterward. – less

Outsourced the bulk of the IT staff ...
IMPLEMENTATION ENGINEER (Former Employee), Tampa, FL – April 30, 2013
Pros: amazing collegues
Cons: deceitful management
Not a fan of the outsourcing of 500+ on New Year's Eve 2010 and all to save a buck. This did not improve the quality of support in fact the opposite was the case.

Management staff treated veteran employees atrociously and should be ashamed of themselves. Instead they are still collecting fat paychecks.

I have gladly moved on and am happy to no longer – more... be part of an extremely toxic environment. – less

Financial Service - Insurance Industry, Associate (Former Employee), New York City, NY – April 29, 2013
It was definitely different than being on the private side of things, but you do get exposed to things/concepts on the business side once you get past the grunt work of a starting associate.
