Pros

Literally none - I couldn't say a good word about them. Even the office is rubbish

Cons

Terrible at employee management, poor pay, unfair dismissal then try to sue you for pay you were legally entitled to, ship you off to a client on your own then ignore you for months on end, confirmed my end date with my client and not with me

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.
