Pros

None - be mentally prepared for the worst

Cons

- Managers WITHOUT ANY managerial skills to manage a team. To the partners, Open your EYES and look at HOW they manage NOT only clients but staff. - PROFIT over everything - Low pay, long hours - TOXIC CULTURE on the floor (please look at it yourself instead of relying on people feeding you information and reports) - Good, hardworking people LEAVE quick. This is a RED FLAG ignored - Lack of appreciation and understanding - Flexibility is NON EXISTENT across all levels. I understand it is JUST FOR PUBLICITY - ONLY INCONSISTENCIES in the team - NO-VALUE for different perspectives/thinking. You WILL only SUCCEED if you are a GOOD follower who BLINDLY follows. -

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.
