Pros
I'd say PRTM has a collaborative culture, with a plenty of nice people. I truly enjoyed interacting with the people I've worked with at PRTM. The pay is better than corporate jobs' pay, but not comparable to other consulting firms.
Cons
PRTM has tons of average people, with quite mediocre capabilities. You'll have to love processes to enjoy the work at PRTM; this is what PRTM does and is good at. The firm will never reach the status of McKinsey and BCG, primarily because it attracts average, risk-averse talent. Pay is worse than the industry; for example, as a Pricinple, you make on average less than $200K/year, while at BCG you make around $350K. And then the work is tedious, because it's all process (not content) focused.
If you're serious about management consulting, skip PRTM. It just doesn't pay off in the long run.Advice to Senior Management
Focus on hiring and attracting top talent if you want to grow; don't recruit from third-tier business schools, and focus more on C-level topics (strategy).
