Pros

Summer Fridays are one of the most unique benefits GT has to offer. During the summer (Memorial Day-Labor Day) the firm shuts down at 1pm every Friday to give us time back to ourselves. What a great way to show appreciation to the employees.

Cons

This is not the typical 9-5. There will be long days at times in order to meet your deadline but the benefits are worth 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.
