Pros

People that you work with are motivated to push the product or make the sale. We are selling anything we can provide services for and perform well. Definitely a good place to learn about from people that have a lot of experience.

Cons

Its the frat house of the working world. If you like that kind of atmosphere great. If not Protiviti might not be for you. There is definitely the work hard play hard mentality. If you aren't the type of person to actively seek out opportunities to fit in and be recognized at the same time you could get the feeling of being left behind.

Pros

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

Cons

Could get stuck on a busy client for extended period.

Pros

1) Chicago office has a good culture, overall. It’s not perfect but most of the people are great. 2) Work-life balance score has been solid (about 5+ years of insights here) 3) Although it was not great this year, Incentive compensation has overall been pretty good over the course of 5+ years. Much better than big 4 in my experience.

Cons

1) Since 2023, the culture hasn’t been great for a variety of reasons (mainly due to sluggish performance and growing too fast) 2) It feels more like a temporary staffing agency versus a consulting firm for a lot of the time. 3) There has been an awkward push for a return to the office and more business development focus that is in stark contrast to what most Protiviti people value. 4) Most people I talk to say they are not motivated by most of the MDs they interact with (this is significant in my opinion).
