Pros

had a few good co-workers, the true consulting arm of Protiviti is decent.

Cons

leadership at every level is way out of touch. they don't understand the clients, the markets, or what is takes to be successful. they are years, maybe decades, behind their competition when it comes to strategy in technology staffing.
