Pros

It’s a decent mid-tier firm to have on resume. You learn a lot. Nice office. It has a room you can go cry in.

Cons

Work/life balance is an absolute joke. Lots of lip service. They’ll tell you to your face that they’re happy with you and your performance but then belittle you and speak negatively behind your back. Lots of great people left because of toxic management. Highly competitive and if you have any responsibilities outside of dedicating 100% of your life to work you will not get ahead.

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.
