Pros

This is veyr difficult to answer since there is very little positive left to say about working here. Start young, work your tail off for a few years to build the resume, collect some certifications and then get out.

Cons

The company is in a death spiral right now. Scores and scores of the best and brightest in the company have been laid off and more to come. They have re-branded more times than I count and it is clear they have no solid strategy that places them in front of the market rather than reacting to it. This is a firm chock full of internal audit types who cannot complete a sentence w/o uttering the word SOX. You will work long hours, rarely get feedback (I usually end up writing my own evals because management is too lazy or busy to actually stop and give me any actual feedback), be treated like a warm body and be expected to sing the praises of a company with no culture, among the worst benefits of any consulting firm, and the possible scarlet letter of having worked in a firm that is imploding upon itself. Its your call!

Pros

Career advancement opportunities are abundant. Managers are really helpful and even senior management is accessible (at times). If you want to join a niche team, it's not that hard, you just have to talk to people in HR.

Cons

I don't always agree with the promotions and I think politics plays a role there. The whole promotions process is opaque. Extreme cost cutting measures might start to encroach upon benefits, but that is just speculation.

Pros

Given Protiviti's size, employees have a unique opportunity to participate in various capacities (e.g., methodology development, business development, project management, internal initiatives, training). Additionally, you will interact with some very good managers who respect their staff. Lastly, Protiviti does not burn-out their employees (although that may change with the cost-cutting measures taking place and the work starts to pile on the remaining employees).

Cons

Senior management and legacy employees tends to keep chargeable hours and relationships for themselves. This hurts junior managers and makes them expendable. Additionally, if you do not have a niche or speciality that supports what sells in the market at the time, you are vunerable. You may get piegeon-holed quickly, so make sure you identify a niche early on and pursue it aggresively.
