Pros

- The people you work with are young (either physically or mentally), so you will get surrounded by lively and energetic at work. - Most (but not all) Seniors and Managers show appreciation to their subordinates throughout engagements. They (again, most but not all) are also willing to coach the consultants with their technicalities and/or soft skills. - Office romance buds everywhere (it sure is one of the pros for a lot of people)

Cons

- Office politics (which happens everywhere you work anyways) - Office politics mixed with office romance (things can get slightly uglier sometimes) - Favoritism (which also happens in a lot of work places anyways)

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).
