      Pros

      Steady work. Pay on time. Willing to train you, but only around your current job. Great place to work if you have no outside life.

      Cons

      Not a good place for mothers of small children. Engagement managers shame you when school calls to pick up sick kid or you take time off for similar reasons. Plan your schedule around 10hr work days to meet utilization. I feel I can never take a day off to recharge my batteries!!!

      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.
