&lt;p&gt;Generally coming out neck-and-neck in rankings, the Big 4 firms tend to travel in packs. However, PricewaterhouseCoopers may be pulling ahead of its Big 4 brethren, according to a number of recent surveys. The firm landed in the No. 4 slot on the &lt;i&gt;Sunday Times&#39;&lt;/i&gt; best big companies to work for list, beating out KPMG (No. 10) and Deloitte (15). Accenture was the only other consulting firm to make the cut. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the survey that accompanied the rankings, PwC was commended for its commitment to staff development during the recession. Said the firm, &quot;During the past year, despite the economic difficulties, the firm has maintained its professional development programmes and even rolled out a company-wide women’s leadership scheme, admitting 16 women to partnership.&quot; Furthermore, 82 percent of PwC&#39;s staff said they were proud to work for the company, while 80 percent feel their is stimulating and that their experience at the firm will give them strong future prospects.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PwC recently won another significant accolade, having been named one of the top-10 Business Superbrands of 2010 (out of 500 companies)—seven places above last year&#39;s ranking. That survey was compiled by The Centre for Brand Analysis and polled over 1,500 professionals worldwide. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No such love came from &lt;i&gt;Fortune&lt;/i&gt;&#39;s Most Admired Companies list, however. IBM, Cisco and HP brought consultants as close as they would get to the top 50 spotlight, and the Big 4 were nowhere to be found. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vault is now set to ramp up its own ranking season, with surveys going out in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to see which firms rise to the top! &lt;p&gt;
