Pros

Talented Individuals: Grant Thornton had several talented individuals within the data analytics team who were skilled in their respective areas of expertise. Professional Development Opportunities: The nature of the work provided opportunities for professional growth and learning in the field of data analytics.

Cons

Poor Work-Life Balance: The excessive overtime work hours and lack of consideration for work-life balance created a challenging and stressful environment while being part of a poorly managed data analytics team, led by Swetha. Harsh Feedback and Lack of Appreciation: Swetha's feedback and guidance were consistently harsh and demotivating. Instead of providing constructive criticism and support, the tone used was often condescending and belittling. This created a toxic work environment, where team members felt undervalued and demoralized. Lack of Appreciation: There was a noticeable lack of appreciation for the hard work and dedication exhibited by the data analytics team. Achievements and successes went unrecognized, while mistakes were magnified and used as opportunities for blame rather than learning and improvement. This further contributed to low employee morale and a lack of motivation.

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.
