Pros
Good Pay. Brand name. Good projects to work IF you ever get on the project.
Kontras
PwC Booz marriage is probably the worst thing to happen to PwC consulting. The integration is only on Paper not in reality. The legacy Booz employees walk around PwC office as if they are God's gift. Mingling, networking, socializing is promoted through company training's and events, but it is not enough to change people's mindset. Booz Partners only tend to work with their own group and PwC tends to stick to similar faces as well. Strategy& bills clients at 50$/hr for a Senior Associate and this hurts the employees on bench. PwC has a very bad tendency to hire folks in truckloads. They train them and then these employees sit on bench. Their coach system is a joke. You are assigned a "coach" who is normally a director, and the person is so busy that he never shows for scheduled meetings or provides any valuable feedback. You are also supposed to find your own project and remind your partner that you exist and you need a project!!! Its a fish market and a total mess! The "real time feedback" is often misused by partners and directors to hide their own deficiencies, and throw someone else (normally a senior or an associate) under the bus. Constructive feedback, training, mentor ship is sorely missed at this place. This place has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I have decided to avoid consulting altogether and seek an industry job. Your career at this place really depends on what team you joined, what projects you get placed on (if you get placed on), success of the project, your team, if your director and partner like you, if they are not micro managers and if they actually take interest to mold you (which won't happen). PwC Strategy& has been losing a lot of projects to Accenture lately. Even my partner could not keep up with his billings and wanted to move back to PwC Mgmt Consulting. This quick review should tell you enough to make a decision to work/apply here or not.
