Pros

Growing rapidly, investing aggressively in growth. Financial services practice is expanding in depth and breadth of offerings. Bringing on strong talent from both industry and consulting. Management shares wins, losses, state of the practice, compensation, etc openly. Strongest collaboration within and across practice areas I have ever encountered. They truly set you up for success. Management has an open door policy - and means it. Integration with Robert Half has provided access to an enterprise sales team and some great connections. So far, work life balance seems strong and there is flexibility in working locations when not on an engagement.

Cons

The only 'cons' I can talk to are benefits and the integration of Protiviti into RHI's benefits. Benefits are extremely costly when compared to my previous employers. The integration into Robert Half's benefits programs has been messy -- enrollment records not making it over to vendors. Paid time off and number of company holidays is slightly less than the competition. The 401k match is one of the lowest I've seen. Finally, I would hope that there would be more line of sight to the CEO... practice leadership is visible, but Joe has not been.

Thank you for all of the positive feedback and we certainly are pressing those recruiters as hard as we can (and hiring more recruiters as well)! We are proud of our culture and so grateful you attest to our collaborative nature and open door policy. We did migrate to a new benefits platform for 2015 and definitely encountered some bumps in the road. The overall result is that we have many more options for health coverage for employees to select from, including high deductible plans, so employees may choose the coverage that best meets their needs. We will continue to benchmark our benefits cost against our competitors. Our 401(k) is another benefit that we regularly benchmark and find that our match compares favorably in the consulting industry. We did increase our match a year ago (January 2014) and will continue to evaluate the competitiveness of our plan. Joe, our CEO, is based on New York, but is often traveling to meet with clients as well as employees around the world. Joe often attends our milestone training schools as well as participates in office town hall meetings (such as New York’s February meeting) and also participates in local office I on Hunger events. Throughout the year, he visits many of our offices and attends office events to interact with our employees.

Great opportunity to grow as an individual based off of your technical and behavioral skillset.

Cons

If you are not assigned to a client, you could be on the bench which will affect your bonus.

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.
