Pros

Keep your nose down, play the game, know who the influencers are, kiss their butt and you will do fine. Independent thinking is not valued. So if you can follow the herd and say a few smart sound bites here and there without stepping on toes you will be lauded.

Cons

If you have interesting varied work experience (considering many in Protiviti have only worked at Protiviti or very few jobs in their whole life, so have little practical, market-competitive real life valuable experience) be prepared for your high-value knowledge to be disregarded and often totally discarded to make room for the same old same old egos with a fixed mindset full of themselves. They talk a great game of innovation, but ask who has innovated what and benchmark it!

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)
