Pros

Only office location was good

Cons

Extremely toxic work culture. Managers don’t even know how to manage which leads to lot of rework. They don’t care about the team. Calling at 12 AM every other day and pressurising for unnecessary changes. Weekend working almost every week. They have hire and fire culture. Nobody stays here for a long time. There is no formal process of performance review and feedback, they just get the work done in busy season and then fire employees in lean season without any feedback. Even HRs dont give a damn. Everyone is just counting days till they find some other company. There were several instances wherein managers didn’t reply to your calls/ msges and suddenly on weekend they’ll call you and shout for the delays. You will be thrown out if you don’t lick their boots.

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.
