Pros

This is the place to work if you have no pride and simply want to collect a paycheck. Unsupervised consultants with very little pressure, and a management team filled will no nothings

Cons

You will learn nothing from your supervisors grow very little on your job and the compensation is not at all what you could get at a better firm. Very little real supply chain work and what's worse you will probably be teamed with some RHI temp person that knows even less

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).
