Pros

Good client base. Happy medium between large and small firms. Great place to work in the short term.

Cons

Does not present the strongest career building foundation. Hired a bunch of rejects when the market was tanking because no one wanted to work at the low ball salaries. The fruits of their labor are truly starting to show when incompetent people move up the ranks and keep brushing off what they cannot do to others just to get by.

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.
