Pros

- you get the chance to go out of town quite often for people who like travelling

Cons

- Intensive Micro management by managers - There are two managers and both are married with each other which creates a lot of problems and they get very hard to work with - Managers not being kiwis try to implement their home country's work culture which is quite toxic - One of the managers is very rude and do politics against juniors by complaining about them to senior leadership behind their back

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.
