Vantaggi
Protiviti's people are very smart and continually impress me. They are always pushing the envelope and not satisfied with ordinary. We're not in a cookie-cutter culture where everyone is encouraged or pressured to me the same (and boring). I have found the personalities to be very independent but social and fun. I think it boils down to confidence. Our people don't need their hands held - they can go for it a bit more than people can at the larger firms. We're entrepreneurial and it works for us. We attract people who want to color outside the lines. And our leadership is incredibly open to new ideas. They value our people and genuinely care about them. I've seen them go out of their way to be available to colleagues at all levels. They are approachable, personable and honest. Think about if you'd rather be a medium/big fish in a small pond, or a small fish in a big pond...Protiviti is the medium/big fish in a small pond because of the level of trust and responsibility given to their people.
Svantaggi
Hours can be long. But the flip side to that is I wouldn't do it if I didn't find satisfaction in it.
