Pros

Good social club. Lower level colleagues generally support each other.

Cons

The whole year is a continuous deadline. The pay is terrible. Senior personnel are completely out of touch, even with all of their studies of results of constant employee questionnaires. Management are good accountants, not particularly good at managing people.

Pros

Some folks are great to work with. Some of the leaders really do care.

Cons

Workday practice is a total mess. They have trouble selling work and hours are much lower than they should be so consultants end up spread very thin across multiple projects and still can't hit utilization targets on paper even if they are working very hard in actuality. The independence requirements are insane!! If I had known I would have to disclose all of my investments and be told wha t I am or am not allowed to invest money in I would not have taken the job. Independence is total hell and most consulting firms don't subject employees to those invasive requirements.
