Pros

Able to focus on advisory engagements and pursue consulting opportunities/outcomes without so many external audit derived limitations compared to Big 4. Talented people with many individuals having backgrounds in Big 4 as well as industry.

Cons

Given size and breadth of possible work, not suitable for someone who doesn't know what they want to learn (Consultant-Senior Consultant), or who hasn't got solid credentials/expertise to bring to the table (Managers and above). Does not yet have a strong company culture, lots of "Individual" in the three "i"s where people work for themselves under the brand Protiviti rather than an affinity for Protiviti. New company competing with old names in the market, experienced growing pains and continues on the path finding itself (while needing to make money for RHI, etc).

Pros

Good if you love travel, and lots of (non-monetary) praise for good work. Hired lots of trainees with no experience, so it would be a good entry-level job if necessary.

Cons

You are on the road 4 days a week ~45 weeks a year, usually in the middle of nowhere. Pay is crummy at entry level and you are expected to put in as much overtime and weekends as necessary. You get reimbursed for travel expenses a few weeks later. You don't really learn much; senior management has a "cookbook" and you just follow directions. Promotion to junior management is fast but based mainly on selling more work to your current client; promotion from junior management to middle manager is glacially slow. They had massive layoffs when the subprime crisis tanked their business.
