Pros

looks good on your resume. Large enough you're bound to find some like-minded people that are pretty easy to work with.

Cons

Ever since they opened the location in India they have been so focused on getting work sent there in order to save $$ that there seems to be no concern about the employee satisfaction. They work/home life balance no longer exists. Sending work to India works well sometimes but upper management doesn't concern themselves about that, they insist you send it no matter how well it may work. This sometimes requires extremely late hours to fix problems once returned from India in order to meet a deadline

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.
