Vantaggi

PRTM is a solid management consulting firm. It provides consultants with a broad set of client experiences. Every year in consulting is equal to three years in industry. You may gain experiences in supply chain, product development (including research, development, quality, etc.). Hence, the opportunity to work at a consulting firm can really grow and expand an individual's capabilities in a very short amount of time.

Svantaggi

Travel. If you're single, it's fine, but if you are married and/or have kids, it's tough on the family. Depending on the partner, work-life balance can be very poor. Sometimes consultants are putting in (unnecessarily) excessive long hours; billing over 100 hours per week on certain clients is not good for the consultant, the team, and the client. Partners must learn to better scope and staff projects. Compensation. Salary and bonus are poor. Most stick around PRTM to either become a partner or join a client. The "deferred compensation" model is great if you become a partner, but if you don't, the result is years of poor compensation with an empty pot at the end of the rainbow.

Vantaggi

PRTM has great people. Nearly everyone is helpful, wants you to succeed and will encourage you to be successful, which can be rare in the consulting industry, generally. I worked on extremely interesting projects during my three years at PRTM, and was very happy with the level of responsibility I was given. Additionally, work life balance is valued (maybe not compared to a corporate job, but compared to top management consulting firms) and there is a good amount of vacation time. Management is excellent and has great communication with employees - I always felt like I knew what was going on in the business and what the strategic direction was for the firm.

Svantaggi

My biggest drawback is the lack of name recognition. This is something that PRTM has been working on, but it can be very frustrating, both for selling work and for selling yourself (be it on a resume, with others, etc). For people who know the firm, PRTM always has a stellar, shining reputation and people are impressed to hear that you work there. However, most will not know the firm. Secondly, project staffing can be somewhat subjective. It takes a good deal of internal politics to ensure you are staffed on the types of projects you want to work on.
