Outsourcing all IT

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

This firm has exceed all my expectations. I came from a Banking background to the Consulting world and am amazed at the cultural differences. This is a lean, entrepreneurial firm where they value their staff as the true engines of growth that we are. Actions speak louder than words and GT gets it.

Cons

It is a fast-paced culture that rewards entrepreneurial drive. This is not a place for followers.

Racist Bunch of People

Pros

Other than unlimited FTO and occasional travel, nothing worth mentioning.

Cons

Systemic racism abounds. Ask how many black partners they have. If you are not Caucasian or Asian, you can forget about keeping your job for very long. The slightest misstep and you are gone. They want to be like the Big 4, but can never reach that plateau. Grant Thornton is where knowledge goes to die. Notice, how the firm performs the worst audits of any public accounting firm. It's not surprising since GT is where the Big 4 rejects go to. I have never met a phonier bunch of deplorables than I've met at this firm. They are infamous for over-hiring and then firing.
