Pros

Totally flexible schedule, coworkers are friendly, Pay is okay compared to other companies.

Cons

Management is chaotic, managers overpromised to clients on targets and then pushed all the analysts to work overtime 50hr/wk with unrealistic bonus incentives pretending they're generous. Canada contractors have no benefits at all, everything is based on the lowest standard. In addition, 5 days onsite and office location change was posted 10 days before the move. The only reward you can get for working here for 2 yrs is a $10 gift card. Team leads who brag and build cliques seem to have a much easier time than the ones who genuinely work hard. Turnover rate is constantly high and they won't care at all.

Pros

1) Chicago office has a good culture, overall. It’s not perfect but most of the people are great. 2) Work-life balance score has been solid (about 5+ years of insights here) 3) Although it was not great this year, Incentive compensation has overall been pretty good over the course of 5+ years. Much better than big 4 in my experience.

Cons

1) Since 2023, the culture hasn’t been great for a variety of reasons (mainly due to sluggish performance and growing too fast) 2) It feels more like a temporary staffing agency versus a consulting firm for a lot of the time. 3) There has been an awkward push for a return to the office and more business development focus that is in stark contrast to what most Protiviti people value. 4) Most people I talk to say they are not motivated by most of the MDs they interact with (this is significant in my opinion).
