      Pros

      Leadership treats all levels with respect. A great deal of autonomy and ability to impact your own career. A very friendly consulting environment.

      Cons

      Travel increases as you move into higher roles, so there is no chance of being a non-traveling consultant.

      Advice to Management

      Look for additional opportunities to allow at least 1 remote week for consultants per month.

      I have been working at Huron Consulting Group (More than a year)

      Pros

      Good benefits, compensation, bonus.

      Cons

      Unrealistic expectations for travel. 4 days a week may work for people in their 20's. Most experienced professionals do not want to travel to this extent. No flexibility.

      Project Managers tend to have temper problems and will launch tirades at you without explanation.

      Advice to Management

      You say that you care about work-life balance. Yet, your employees don't see that commitment. If you are planning to retain experienced hires, you will have to change these expectations. Most consulting firms implementing Workday do not travel to this extent.

      Understand how project managers interact with employees on-site and how they resolve conflicts. Unprofessional conduct and language are common.
