PwC has two major selling points as an employer: the strength of its brand, and its global reach. Put those two things together, and you have a firm that provides serious shine to your employment history, as well as the possibility of making the types of connections that lead to great exit opportunities a few years down the line.

A definite solid choice for anyone seeking to start a career with a reputable firm, with opportunities both for moving on after a couple of years or for moving through the ranks over the longer term.
