Pros

You learn a lot fast because there are a ton of very unique projects to be worked on. The people are friendly and easy to get along with. The Dallas office is especially growing fast and there should be room for career advancement.

Cons

The hours are ridiculous. The problem is that GT is growing so fast and doesn't have enough people coming in and staying. The people coming in get so overwhelmed and quit which just puts the burden back on everyone else (associates and seniors) to pick up the work load while at the same time trying to train new hires before they get too overwhelmed and quit too. It is a vicious cycle.

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.
