Pros

The people and office are nice. You are eligible to join the pension after 2 years of employment. You contribute 5% and the company will contribute 7.5%.

Cons

The culture has done a 180 in 2024 due to layoffs, large budget cuts and shift to focus on the bottom line with a disregard for the wellbeing of staff. Bonuses are low (generally under 10%) and the healthcare plans available through Laya (with partial reimbursement) aren't very good (only employees are covered). Your annual leave is often disregarded and you will be asked to amend or not take leave due to POTENTIAL client opportunities. Year end goals are often changed so you may think you have done well and then be blind sided when it comes to annual increases and bonuses.

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.
