Pros

Good benefits. From an IT standpoint, a good work life balance.

Cons

Poor planning and bad decisions made by senior IT leadership. Slow to act and management behaves as if they have never had a major IT project. They have but clearly they haven't learned from their mistakes. They often hire weak and go for cheap help (which costs them more in the long run).

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.
