Pros

Protiviti does provide exposure to some great industries. Pay rate is comparable. Seem to care about what is needed to provide service to client. Appears to be a good place for a young out of college student who is able to execute and not veer off track by thinking for themselves. Following management orders to the letter is strictly adhered. Expect to be chargeable, but may have to work a lot of overtime without compensation or recognition. Be a good soldier, not questioning authority and you will be good to go. If you think you can fall in line, with this mentality go for it.

Cons

POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS. Not interested in hearing how to work more efficiently and effectively if Senior Management is the one who started the process. Push it out the door no matter what the cost. Not the place to be if you care more about the product than Senior Management. Big 4 was never this bad. Very disappointed with the quality of product being produced - a cookie cutter approach with no ability to think outside the box. Just make sure you make it "look good". If you are smart and female, forget about this old boy establish. Old school reins and we are talking the little red school house.

Pros

Good WLB Great Bosses Health insurance & benefits are awesome Very flexible workforce Easy to climb up in promotions

Cons

Pay is below standard (Although I feel you still get paid decently for the area) If you're put on a production project, be ready to feel stuck. Management is very lost on where they want to head into the future. I am worried this company won't last much longer (Former arthur anderson) Can feel clique-y at times amongst peers (but this is not a problem of the company specifically)
