Pros

Don’t see any. This model has a lot of advantage but no one is bothered.

Cons

- Professionals who are off track in US are sent to lead practice. This whole practice is run to keep them employed. - Experienced professionals from other practice are offered designation one level below. - Local experienced professionals are hired and treated like freshers across levels. Designations are fishy. - No consideration of good policies of competitors in formulating policies. - Very much racist management with high favouritism. - Professionals who manipulate utilisation to please upper management are rewarded, high performers or promoted. - Promotions are not based on actual work it is based on who is favourite and don’t speak against management. - Of you put a point of view for benefit of larger practice but not what management wants to hear you are rated off track in appraisals. - Good cultural values only on paper no implementation.

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.
