Pros

Great people and benefits. Used to be a great culture. The work was interesting and your peers were competent and very friendly.

Cons

Now that all IT is being outsourced they've broken the 12 year top 100 places to work in IT streak in favor of saving 30% of IT spend. Of course this savings will not happen beyond the first year. Sogeti is trying to snap up the best people but they have bad benefits and don't seem to respect their employees or clients. Senior leadership is in over their heads.

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.
