Pros
Fortunately, the people at the company are amazing and I have made several best friends at Protiviti.
Cons
1) Not true consulting - I almost feel as though I am a liar when I tell people that I am a consultant, because I am not. I am simply a contractor placed on a series of production projects that provide little value to my own career growth. The projects are also monotonous and utterly boring. 2) Management - there are several people that I do not believe are competent enough to be placed in a managerial role. This in turn leads to poor project planning and chaotic projects where essentially it seems as though the entire team is running around like chickens with their heads cut off. 3) Over worked - it would be false to say that we do not make a decent salary here at Protiviti. However, when you are being asked to work late into the night, employees should be compensated. The fact that there isn't anything set up for dinner per diem and ubers home when an employee stays past a certain hour is extremely upsetting. Especially considering the fact that our company seems to have no problem spending money on events and booze (which one would think would be of less importance).
