No wlb in big4's , only pressure ,politics and buttering works here.u will become blunt after working for couple of years, mine is auditing ,sometimes u need to stay late night even though there is no much work ,just in order to follow things , and managers here are really crazy for simple issues also

None actually. Most teams are understaffed and work employees to the core. You can always expect a 12 hr day on an average. That's not exactly balanced.

WLB is most of the times bad because of the aggressive timelines, join only for good packages, hikes and brand value. Long term is not suggested

Depends on the Service Line you are joining. For eg, in season, Audit teams work for upto 15-16 hours a day (with OT obvs) but if you talk about Consulting, unless you are really bad at your work no need to stay beyond your work hours.

Been with 3 our 4 big fours and can say that bad leads are something that we all had to deal with at a point but doesn't mean that culture is such. My current lead doesn't mind if I log in 2 hour late, be away for hours and then log off early as long as I do my work properly and with no escalations.

Work life balance totally depends upon project type and the team you are in. I have experienced good work life balance both in PwC and Deloitte. As my domain is BI, deadline is quite flexible. Sometimes there is work pressure but that is very rare. But if you are in core audit or tax or client facing consulting role then forget about work life balance.
