Developer - Could Be Worse

Pros

Pwc has a lot of cools benefits, like company smart phones, top of the line tech, considerable budget for learning, they give the entire week off for Christmas/New Year and for the fourth of July. They also have really good bonuses, a pension, 401k as well and the standard medical insurance benefits. Also the office spaces are very inviting, although you can work remotely if you want.

Cons

The cons in PwC vary depending on where you end up working and the role, but generally as a developer you wont feel appreciated, you get over worked (60+) and kiss you weekends goodbye. Your opinion will not be valued and worst of all is that the people making the technical decisions have no idea how development works or do not stay up with the technology, which is ironic since Pwc pays for the training and subscriptions.

Pros

Some good knowledgeable managers/partner who have been there for a while, A great senior, and you have the PwC resume builder to your belt.

Cons

Lets just say that when you go to market team meetings / trainings, you realize how much everything the office lacks. People are very very very petty, dull, clique-ish (A weird clique you 100% will try to not be a part of), and to be transparent, just a staff of weird folk. If you want to be a part of larger teams, a bigger office feel, more interesting clients, and around people that you can trust to not smile in your face followed by a great amount of follow up badmouthing, yeah choose another office. I enjoy Orlando, just not PwC Orlando.

Pros

- Amazing resources - Stress about firm budget very rarely impacts employees (versus smaller firms, who very tightly monitor expenses, travel, software investments, etc.) which really allows you to focus on giving your best - Work perks abound, including health perks, gifts, and spot bonuses - Though it is very hierarchal, depending on your group you can contribute ideas and have them move very quickly into reality - Amazing work experience; you sink or swim, but if you're swimming, you're learning so much so quickly and really are enabled to be at the top of your field - Cell phone paid for, which is wonderful with the expectation of periodic messages outside of hours...I don't think it's fair when other firms expect you to distribute your personal number and install a bunch of work-related apps on your personal phone - If you can find time to take PTO, it's a lot easier to find support covering your projects than it is at smaller firms - Colleagues are incredibly smart - Good benefits and excellent holiday/leave policies - Recently brought all of the member firms throughout all the countries together, operating as one PwC, which was long overdue

Cons

- Long hours, especially working with international teams - Expectation is extremely high--perform not only at the top of your game, but find new ways to contribute with side projects and innovation ideas - The new "Snapshot" reviews that replaced previous annual review papers is easier to navigate, but does not capture year-to-year growth between career reviews; you essentially start over every year arguing your value (as opposed to leaders being able to see 2+ years of steady contribution and accolades) - IFS (internal firm services) professionals are mostly second class citizens, and will never have the earning power or the opportunities of a client-facing professional - Tendency is to reward through cash or gift card spot bonuses, instead of upping salary--which never keeps anyone happy for long - Limited advancement opportunities with some groups in IFS - Work environment is better than most, but still favors men and has a persistent boys' club atmosphere at times - Annual reviews are frustratingly not transparent; you have no place at the table to discuss your case if you're hoping for a raise or advancement--results are just told to you after the fact - Like all of the Big 4 and most big business, it's a very political environment
