Pros

The culture is pretty good but it is changing. There is easy access to leadership. There are lots of training and certification opportunities.

Cons

There is a core group of people who do all the work. The pay could be better. For the last 3 years, they pushed back our bonuses. You really don't have any say on what client you would like to serve. Just work on the client you've been assigned. You'll get annoying emails that will ask you to email someone because he or she couldn't do it.

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.
