Pros

Protiviti was a great idea that could have had legs. The environment was congenial and generally was a happy environment. The lower level employees are of fairly strong caliber.

Cons

Management is not competent. It is staggering to me that they are making the decisions that they are this environment. It seems that they had put all of their eggs in the SOX basket without forethought that the SOX initiatives would come to an end. They generally have subpar pay with and a culture that doesn't look toward the future. Most of the Andersen "A" players have left to find greener pastures elsewhere (myself included). It's really too bad because when we started this company I figured we'd be able to make something of ourselves.

Pros

Compared to other consulting firms, the flexibility in the management here has been amazing. In my experience, teams do whatever they can to get the job done but also acknowledge that we have lives outside of work and are accommodating to that.

Cons

Pay is not competitive compared to other consulting firms and leadership is not as innovative as they could be.
