Pros

The greatest thing Protiviti has going for them are its people and culture. However, lately, management is sacrificing what makes Protiviti's culture unique to satisfy its clients. If it wasn't for the amazing people here, most people would be out the door.

Cons

Protiviti has serious trouble delivering on their promises. The new consultants were promised real consulting work, opportunity to travel, client exposure, and industry experience. Instead they have been consistently on production based projects that are mind-numbing, offer little to no learning experience, and do not offer any client exposure. In addition, management's role on the production projects has been very poor. The skill sets needed to run these large engagements has not been demonstrated by the current management. Lastly, if the consultants are being asked to sacrifice their work life balance for these production engagements, it would only be fair to compensate them for their hard work.

Great work life balance (depending on client, however I always had a good experience). Good company match, typical time off.
