Pros

It's a growing company that allows employees to really get involved if they so choose. Partners are down to earth and very open/friendly. People are very smart and great to work with. Extremely hard workers here. There's some good opportunities if you can land them. You work closely with Partners and can learn a lot from them. The work is usually interesting. Getting six-sigma certified is a plus.

Cons

For an operational consulting firm, they really need to take a look at its own operations. It doesn't feel like the company runs smoothly as an integrated whole. The internal distribution, consolidation and communication of KM/information is not effective at all. Also, there are no established template for certain activities that PRTM consistently performs on certain services/projects we sell. Yes, PRTM stresses customization for each client, but there's a difference between customization and reinventing the wheel. The IT department is not helpful nor are they polite. A lot of projects are sold at a dollar amount that doesn't support the required staff needed to do a great job while also maintaining a semblence of a work-life balance. Staffing seems like a secret. Unless you ask, there's no centralized source that tells you what roles are currently available, what roles are opening up soon, etc. The online training is not very polished and the "core training" (which is online) is not worthwhile.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
