Pros

Work Life Balance - 4 weeks of paid time off to start, management encourages you to take it when you're not busy Defined Career Path - Promotions take place at regular intervals, if you can the experience you will be promoted, it is unheard of for someone to not be promoted within 2-4 years.

Cons

As part of a public company, Protiviti makes knee jerk reactions when earnings aren't met including layoffs, salary cuts and benefit reductions. Seasonal work - during the latter half of the year, everyone is pushed to put in many hours and do extra work, management does not adjust capacity accordingly

Pros

You are given a lot more flexibility on how you develop and deliver services than at other large consulting firms. Culture is pretty good - depends on which office but there is generally not a great deal of politics or drama among fieldwork teams. Access to wide range of clients

Cons

Protiviti has never shaken off the audit mentality of Arthur Andersen. Most non-audit services are reliant on one or two very smart people somewhere in the company. If they leave, the service lines that they led significantly suffer. As a subsidiary of Robert Half International, Protiviti has significantly suffered in the last year from the short term mentality of an organization where people are interchangable. Here's a news flash - for RHI management. Consulting is a relationship driven business, and when the people go, the business often goes with them or gets rebid. Very little effort has been made to streamline internal operations. Some of the processes that line managers have to cope with (from rev-rec to setting up a job code) seem designed to take as long as possible. This lack of investment in improving internal operations has knock on effects into the way that knowledge is shared. While the new Protiviti Knowledge and Innovation Center is a step in the right direction - it has an uphill battle to change the existing mindset.
