Pros

The people are smart...the work is challenging...I am learning skills that I can use as I progress at Protiviti or elsewhere if I decide to leave to do something else. I enjoy the fast paced environment and the fact that the work changes everyday. I've traveled both in the U.S. and globally and have enjoyed learning new cultures and seeing how businesses are run globally. The executive leadership team shares their strategy with the rest of the office and we feel that we are a part of creating our future. The training programs are great - Protiviti is redesigning some of the training programs right now to align with their new methodology and I look forward to taking one of those courses in March or April.

Cons

I want to see more training in the business development area as I progress as a manager.

Pros

Great work life balance (depending on client, however I always had a good experience). Good company match, typical time off.

Cons

Could get stuck on a busy client for extended period.

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).
