Pros
Interesting clients, intelligent people to work with.
Cons
Bullying is rife on some larger programmes where the focus is on delivering against milestones no matter what. Work life balance is non existent on a lot of assigments too with 4+ days on site the norm. We've been told not asked to work 5 days a week and possibly weekends on a failing programme for a major client. Collaboration between the SAP and other non techie consulting teams does not exist. SAP run everything with the transformation and change teams tagged on as an afterthought and treated as lame partners almost like contracted suppliers. Programme directors can be viscious and don't expect any support from your bosses. Pay is poor and HR is a joke. As a senior experienced consultant I have no say as to which assignments I would like to work on which seems odd to me. Really sexist, This company has fewer women in senior roles due to the nature of the culture and the poor work life balance. I have noticed quite a bit of racism too with the teams on projects segregated along racial lines, with very little socialising. I also saw frequent instances of asian guys being talked down and belittled. Their values and actions do not match, one of these values 'fun' is in short supply.
