Pros

There is nothing good here don't waste your time

Cons

Micro management at managerial and above levels to people down the food chain. Leaders with no leadership skills and direction. Work-life balance and flexibility only on paper but not actually present at all. Partners and business that cares more about profit and revenue above anything else - can do anything to ensure profits and money ahead of staff. Resources are not in the right place - eg Non client facing cost centres are expanding for no real reason People do not genuinely caring about you - many people are fake Extremely hierarchical - partners/managers are very narrow in their outlook. I'd say good luck if you have any ideas that you want to push through below manager level. Nothing will happen and they won't listen. High turnover - P&C say things have been done to address issues. Reality since 2017 to this day, NOTHING has been done. Blow the trumpets and hire all sorts of P&C but NOTHING in reality - only on paper maybe? Just so they can justify more P&C nuts

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.
