Pros

One of the things I loved about working at Protiviti is that it has many offices throughout the world which presents a lot of travel opportunities. Unlike the big-4, there is no busy season. I really enjoyed their training programs. They encourage all employees obtain a certification (CIA, CPA, CSA, PMP, ect) and give you time to study for them (unless you are staffed on a large project). Pay and promotion structure is comparable to big-4.

Cons

My work schedule was very inconsistent. Part of the year I was very busy, while at other times of the year, I would spend months in the office because there were no projects on the schedule. This can be good if you are studying for a certification, however, this hurts your chargeability for the year and makes it near impossible to get your bonus. Time and expense reports are a pain, but a necessary evil in all consulting jobs. Pays less than working as internal auditor for a company.

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.
