Pros

Protiviti understands that management consulting is a People business and focuses on building relationships. There are also many opportunities to work at interesting clients across varied industries and project types. Working at Protiviti has given me the flexibility to pursue true life/work balance in a way that was not possible within the big 4.

Cons

Management consulting is a calling and not suited to everyone. If you do not enjoy working at Protiviti then chances are that you will not be happy at a different consulting firm either.

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
