      Pros

      The people I work with are great company and find a good balance between work and friendliness. Also, the fruit baskets dotted around the workplace are an absolute treat!

      Cons

      While the salary is not the best, it is not a turnoff. This really is my only qualm so far, and on that basis the job is a good one!

          My fellow interns and co workers are great people and enjoyed everything about my internship.

          Cons

          Cons of this internship. I felt like It was to short and wished that there was more time to learn the role

            Great benefits and people very good for helping with career attempting to reach 20 work minimum racoons grapes matches keys

            Cons

            There are no downsides if you have no problem being an entry level employee and can get over yourself enough to realize that this is how every entry level job is.

              -Good structure to summer internship with friday programme, social events etc, -Great way to get exposure in the workplace and see if your role is what you would like to do in the future -Very easy to get a graduate offer -Meet great people and overall an enjoyable and worthwhile experience even if you don't want to come back

              Cons

              -Internship is dressed up- work you do is quite dull and monotonous, that's if you even have work to do (varies hugely per individual) -minimum wage (fair) -Don't be fooled by the summer internship- this is not what working here as a graduate entails for the most part

                Cons

                Unless you join PwC as a SME they have no problem staffing you on projects that may not interest you or in another line of service.

                    Pros

                    Great employer with many benefits. I've met a lot of great people and have been able to expand my network of other like-minded professionals. The location of the office is definitely a plus for me located in midtown Manhattan. Everyone is always very helpful when I have any questions and are always quick to respond. There are lots of vacation and holidays to escape from work.

                    Cons

                    The busy season can become crazy and the hours are extremely long. It's not the best situation for a recent graduate's social life but we all must make sacrifices in order to get where we want to go.

                      Pros

                      The people you meet!! Resume name recognition. The experience of working for a Big 4 accounting firm to see what it is all about. The benefits are great and PwC does invest in their people if you can stick it out.

                      Cons

                      The hours do get long in busy season. The work isn't challenging as a process specialist. If they offer a "Seasonal" position, do NOT take it. You can do better than that especially if you earned a masters degree. You will sacrifice too much on your end trying to get your foot in the door and prove yourself. The duties of the process specialist are outsourced overseas. The mentality of the Tampa, FL office is like a call center.

                        Business Outlook

                        Pros

                        Working at PricewaterhouseCoopers gives you the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of different projects and technical challenges faced by clients. The people are great to work with and very willing and eager to lend a helping hand when need be.

                        Cons

                        Because of being exposed to a variety of projects it may be hard to develop a strong skill set in any one area which could hinder job opportunities outside of the firm. Communication from the leadership is lacking which causes low morale among its employees.

                      Project Coordinator

                      I have applied for a Graduate Financial Planning Analyst & and I have been invited for an assessment& interview, but when I looked back on the JD I have just noticed that they ask for a 2:1 degree , but I have a 2:2 ( due to some personal issues I had 3rd year) However in my CV the I didn’t mention my grade and during the application process I wasn’t asked. What do I do now? Just let the hiring manager know about directly or mention it during the interview first thing? Whats best solution?

                      Graduate Student

                      Hi! Looking for some advice regarding hiring processes. I completed 2 interviews with the company and they emailed to say they "want to put me forward for the job" and asked for references, passport, and for me to do a background check. I didn't hear anything for a week, so then emailed to check on my application status. They responded saying they would get back at the end of that week. Its been 2 weeks since. I emailed last week to ask for an update and have not received a response. Thoughts?

                      Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?
