Pros

There are plenty of young people and will most likely build a good relationship with them as you work with them on projects. At the staff level everyone is friendly and willing to help each other out.

Cons

Staffing decisions are made on a whim by management and there is blatant favoritism. Many people were let go without getting a fair chance to prove themselves.

Pros

Protiviti makes noticeable attempts to build a community by communicating extra curricular activities to its employees. Unfortunately, many employees, with their distaste of Protiviti, to not attend; those that do attend are there more to "get ahead" rather than get to know fellow co-workers.

Cons

Upon becoming a consultant, it is not uncommon to work extended hours and begin to associate your home as a place you sleep and only see on the weekends. Management does NOT practice the philosophy, "I would never ask you to do something I wouldn't do." Lastly, and this is especially true during our current recession, there is a constant, underlying tone to eat hours.

Pros

- Strong operations - Very nice people and overall very nice culture - Generally well thought of by clients

Cons

- Aspires to have Big 4 advisory capabilities but is unable to deliver due small project focus and mentality. - Strong operations but little strategic or competitive understanding - Very high turnover of executive and experienced hire personnel coming in from the outside. Protiviti was created (and is still lead by) internal auditors or those with an audit mindset. Most of the upper management has not every worked in the big 4 (AA doesn't count...) as a management consultant. They don't understand what it means to be a management consultant and that 'risk' is not a four letter word. - They are part of Robert Half; it's not about the solutions; it's about the hours billed as a metric for success. Period. - Relatively intolerant of new /outside ideas, approaches, processes, or markets.
