      work life balance? Nonsense!

      Pros

      There are a good amount of bright people here to learn from. Good client base. Not considering the hours worked, the pay/benefits are actually quite good.

      Cons

      No worklife balance. A common complaint is how people come in expecting for the most part the hours will only be bad during January-March/April timeframe. However this isn't the case at all. Clients with deadlines occur year round. The cult like mentality of employees is disgusting, its as if people are ok with being treated like dogshit and like it. Office politics aplenty. Promotions/rating system is unfair even with the new guidance surrounding the whole ARC process. Its as if your PFFs mean nothing when your rating is determined (ie. very few 1s or 2s).

      WAS a Great Place to Work before Partners and Leadership became greedy. When Ken Cooke left it all went downhill.

      Pros

      Technology, benefits, pay, and great people to work with (at least before so many were fired due to outsourcing/offshoring of IT in 2009 and 2010). Firm is sneaky by not communicating group offshoring to other groups - you just find out one day that "they" have all left.

      Cons

      Very poor Senior Leadership in many instances. There are still some very talented people there in Senior Leadership, but I'll bet some of them will leave as soon as they can. Use to be a great culture but it has digressed significantly.

      Great place to get started...

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Opportunities to work on challenging engagements - Great resume builder - Opportunities to go places can begin as soon as 2 yrs after start date, but are generally more abundant after 3-4 yrs (i.e., domestic transfers, international transfers, transfers to other lines of service) - It feels like management has taken a more long-term approach on staffing and has not laid off a significant number of individuals due to the economic downturn (this can be classified as either a pro or con depending on your performance - when PwC decided to do this they froze salaries to pay for the additional heads that were retained) Vacation time increases from 15 days to 22 days/yr after 2 years

      Cons

      - Promotion to senior after 3 yrs (other Big 4 promote after 2 yrs) - Compensation - pay increases (after considering unfavorable changes to health care coverage coupled with increasing premiums) don't feel as nice - Salary bands within each staff class appear to be tight, which suggests that higher performing individuals (in terms of base pay increases) don't appear to be as significant when compared to expected performing individuals - I feel this, to a degree, inhibits higher performance
