The worst place to be at

Consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

Travelling to different client locations makes you learn a lot ( though you cab get that in better firm's as well). Other than this, no pros.

Cons

1. The HR team sucks. They will make your life hell. U will feel like you are back in school. They will make sure your exit formalities become very very painful. 2. The company will make you sign a bond and will ask you to pay if u decide to leave before two years. I paid around a lakh. Legally this is not allowed, however they will not give you experience letter till then. Neither will they give you the payable amount in writing since they know its illegal. Probably thats one way the company is making revenue as I have not heard of any other company being so harsh. Everyone in the firm will turn hostile once u resign. 3. You will be treated like a servant flooded with work with a pay structure that is abysmal. 4. No growth. Getting a promotion at protiviti is a pain no matter how hard u work, management will find flaws in ur work. 5. They do not believe in providing any facilties to their employees. Be it food or transport. In short the company gets everything from its employees but gives nothing in return other than a very low salary structure. I can certainly list many more cons here.Nothing good can come out of working at this place. Its a total wastage of your time to be here.

Pros

The Chicago office culture is great. Most individuals are in the office on Fridays allowing for good face time. Working at a consulting company of this size allows you to have visibility and interactions with all levels of management. Some roles will require you to travel quite a bit (if you like travelling).

Cons

Some roles will require you to travel quite a bit (if you dislike travelling).
