Pros

- Work life balance is much better than Big 4 and other consultancies - People are young, energetic, and smart - Specialized niche services teach deep skills - Great launching pad for career - Pay is competitive for industry - Start with 4 weeks PTO

Cons

- Performance is determined with metrics (chargability, sales, overtime, etc.) - Consultancies/Big 4 are hurting right now, Protiviti is not an exception - Being owned by a publicly traded company (shareholder pressures) - Skills/leadership capabilities are inconsistent across office locations - Strategy is in flux, causing some confusion and inconsistencies - Benefits are just OK

Great work life balance (depending on client, however I always had a good experience). Good company match, typical time off.

Could get stuck on a busy client for extended period.

Pros

Good WLB Great Bosses Health insurance & benefits are awesome Very flexible workforce Easy to climb up in promotions

Cons

Pay is below standard (Although I feel you still get paid decently for the area) If you're put on a production project, be ready to feel stuck. Management is very lost on where they want to head into the future. I am worried this company won't last much longer (Former arthur anderson) Can feel clique-y at times amongst peers (but this is not a problem of the company specifically)
