Pros

The only pro is that they pay you. Not many other pros

Cons

Layoffs due to overcapacity, regardless of high performance. Underpaid compared to the rest of the industry. PTO isn't accrued nor unlimited. Offices are outdated. Offices too small and the firm refuses to increase the office size due to cost. NYC

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.
