A friend of mine got an offer from protiviti consulting (at a non-US office). Could anyone share the pros and cons of the company? (My friend is pivoting from industry into consulting). Appreciate if anyone can connect for a quick chat too. Thanks!

It's a nice step into consulting from industry for certain types of consulting. All about expectations and which office they're looking at. Feel free to DM me and I'm happy to talk with you or them.

WLB for sure compared to the other consulting firms. Also, interesting project but YMMV depending on solution. Overall good people.

Pros:
- Good WLB balance for consulting

Cons:
- Projects can be meh depending on the group that you’re aligned to (ie: long term production projects, support projects, audits, etc)
- Some people aren’t happy with their salary but that’s typically homegrown people, not external hires

Can you share the level that your friend got an offer for? The pros and cons for a Consultant vs Associate Director can differ. Also sharing the solution would be helpful (Technology, Internal Audit, etc)

He’s a good guy, has his life together, and we have fun, but I don’t get why the arrangement we have is a problem/needs to be changed??
