Pros

Great place to launch a new career if you are a recent graduate, and also a great place to develop a career if you are already an experienced professional. People are generally very respectful (this is rare in the accounting/professional services industry) and great to work with, very collaborative. Competitive salary & clear promotion path can be found here as well.

Cons

Could be a lot of work at times (but such is life in public accounting, right?) and changes could be slow to be implemented.

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.
