Pros

The big pros of this job are the people. The environment is always welcoming and people are ready to help you out whenever you need them. Experience in the cloud services consulting industry, especially Workday, is highly in demand and having that on your resume is big plus.

Cons

Most consultants are staffed in 10-12 projects at a time. For this reason, consultants are not able to give their 100% to any of their clients and clients in turn end up feeling unsatisfied. The compensation offered in below average if you are not from an Ivy league college. There is no clear bonus or merit structure in place. There is very clear favoritism shown which has nothing to do with your potential or your work as a consultant. Most junior consultants are under a contract which ties them to the company for two years so they do not have a way out. You are put in a lead role very early on, which might be good for experience, but on paper you remain a staff consultant which is the most junior position in the company, so the growth factor is very superficial.

Pros

Very very good management and leadership. The company is well organized, clear mission, great culture and work/life balance.

Cons

The only con for me was that I didn't have enough software development in my role.

Pros

CPSG has the highest concentration of extremely intelligent, fun, and genuinely humble people I have seen. Everyone here -- from recruiters to management -- works really, really hard and is amazing at what they do. There is no room for cruisers. If you don't have top-notch work ethic, you will feel like a slacker here. You need not toot your own horn as peers will do it for you by giving you Kudos. Most important thing at CPSG is its high performing culture. The environment is really positive and people are not only smart, but actually seem to care about the company and each other. All new employees are made to read the email sent by CEO – [Don’t F…k up the culture] which is funny and insightful. People at CPSG are very friendly. If you're having problems, help is just an ask away; people enjoy when you ask insightful questions, which goes a long way toward setting your mind at ease. The demographic profile of the company is young and diversified (gender, color, sexual preference). College recruiting is primarily from the most selective schools - IVYs, Stanford, Duke, Rice, UT etc, which could be perceived as concentrated, however the results have been stellar [see above]. Once hired, this is not an issue as your work and peer feedback is the primary driver and experienced people have varied educational background.

Cons

The company is definitely growing fast. This isn't necessarily the best place to work if you're not extremely smart and comfortable with change as that happens a lot around here. Things are still getting figured out, which can sometimes be confusing.
