Technical Consulting is not a career

Pros

Resume builder. Great if you live in the Bay Area and enjoy the reverse commute to sleepy Pleasanton. Bragging rights of working at an early cloud company.

Cons

Consultants are treated like factory workers, valued only for the number of billable hours you put in each week. Forget about getting ahead unless you are friends with management above you, career advancement has nothing to do with your work or happy customers. It's all about being in the right clique. Particularly egregious is managers espousing a company culture they were never part of creating, and indeed, have themselves destroyed. You will be better paid and better treated at one of the Workday partner consulting firms.

Workday in Salt Lake City

Pros

Free coffee, free soda, free snacks, ping pong table, pool table, carefully crafted "fun" work atmosphere.

Cons

Workforce in Salt Lake office is not diverse. Very few Black, Hispanic, Asian, gay or mature workers. Not representative of overall Salt Lake population, Apparent intolerance for employees who cannot conform to Workday's collegiate culture. But it's great for under-30, male, white workers who have a friend or relative employed at Workday to pave a path that avoids tiresome interviews and training.
