AMS Epic Consulting
Pros: Friendly and talented staff on the US teams.
Cons: Deloitte's work life balance leaves much to be desired. You're expected to meet your utilization score and no matter how much they try to spin it you are punished for taking PTO. There is a lack of concern or realization of how time consuming it can be to get non client work done, which all of it is mandatory or you'll be hurt during year end reviews. To add insult most of it doesn't even apply to the AMS line, but because Deloitte is a Big 4 they expect you to learn about a bunch of irrelevant accounting and auditing topics. You can't do it during normal business hours as that will hurt your utilization. Deloitte pretends that 45 hours a week is sufficient to get Deloitte and Client work done, but you need an extra 5-15 hours on top of that number. 

Deloitte has a lot of documentation overhead that slow things down. I suspect we'll eventually be questioned as to why so little is getting done or why we are working so many hours. Which will lead to additional documentation to slow things down even further.

Pay could be better for an Epic "consultant". Living on site is not an excuse to pay less than other Epic clients, firms, and hospitals.
