Pros

Work for a highly organzied, competent, global company that is on the cutting edge of technology. Willing to pay for advanced training.

Cons

Not much room for promotion or role change. New positions have been continually filled from the outside along with vacated positions. Current staff has been there for many years and some are extremely knowledgeable which makes promotion even harder, but even they aren't promoted to new openings which is why they have been in the same position for so long.

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.
