Pros

The first day will be great because you will get a coupon for free lunch. 401K and some benefits are not bad as far as matching contributions. If you are paired with a good team, you can work with some really nice people who take time out to help you with an issue.

Cons

This is by far one of the worse companies I have ever worked for. How are you number one in the industry? It makes me think that some of these reviews are not 100% honest and that is horrible for people who depend on these reviews on Glassdoor when making a decision to apply. Some of the employees with a "title" are a set of the most unprofessional people imaginable. Training is subpar at best and the managers are clueless that their employees are being treated unfairly in their department(s). PwC reels you in with promises and everything that you want to hear to get you to accept the position. Once you are hired, the game changes and all bets are off. Accept the position only if you have no other alternative. Most importantly, if you have an issue, personal or professional, do not go to HR. They make you fill out a survey and whatever you discuss in "private" is included in the notes of the survery. No one there is to be trusted as the "coach" that you are assigned to spies on you and runs back to report. Any time you call anyone for assistance, you fill out a survey. If you don't fill it out within the hour, you get a call asking you why you didn't fill it out. If you give any rating under "satisfactory" you get another phone call asking you why you didn't give a higher rating. You feel pressured into giving good reviews even when your issue hasn't been resolved. Intimidation and threats to be given a low score on your "progress report" if you don't ask "how high" when told to jump is the norm. My advice? Go in and do your time if you must. It looks good on your resume. But if you can, run and never look back after you have been there long enough to add them to your portfolio. Good luck!

Pros

Beautiful building to work in, with some nice perks

Cons

Not everyone is your friend, and direct supervisors do "play favorites" so always watch your back.

Pros

Great exposure to top companies. Great training and exposure to a variety of clients in a short period of time. A career enhancer, not a career destination for most. Decent 401k, medical Zero work life balance. Totally neglected my health just to hit metrics.

Cons

Gmail is in transition, but get used to using all of the database items and approval flows still stuck in the 90's on Lotus Notes. Directors bring in work to increase their managed revenues with tight budgets/time just to close them. Managers get stuck trying to complete them, told not to "eat hours" but success requires that you do so. No equity like tons of other SF career opportunities Lots of excuses (market conditions, downturn, etc etc) for small raises/bonus this year, and next year and next year. No lunch or snacks Flavia coffee is the worst of the worst.
