Pros

-Good job for if you are in the job market and have nothing lined up due to relocation, fresh grad, being out of work etc. They are always short on staff (see why in cons) -For the most part the job is not very demanding of skills or personal time - Pay is market rate for a accounting type firm with higher bonuses than other firms. -Some offices have a good clients

Cons

- The job has no learning curve. You are not adding any skill sets if you are doing SOX - The leadership is mediocre and not very inspiring - A lot of the clients in smaller offices are unknown - A lot of office politics, seems who likes you is more important than your skills. - No career development, it's basically get the work done and go home, repeat again the next day doing the same exact thing. The difference in type of work done by staff vs managers isn't that big. - Limit your exit options to internal audit if you are in that group. -Clients I've worked with did not respect the "consultants" from protiviti, which means they probably don't respect the company.

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

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)
