Protiviti Reviews in Paris, France Area

Pros

Protiviti serves the same clients as Deloitte, PWC, E&Y and KPMG.
Protiviti provides you with knowledge tools (KnowledgeLeader and Protiviti University) which are very well built.
The quality of relationships with your colleagues and your management is better than in the big four.
And time spent at work can enable you to have a personnal life (which is very different than in the big four).

Cons

When you don't work in US, like me in France, you can find that your country should be more considered by US headquarter of Protiviti. We have a lot of technical skills here in France and our level of diploma is higher than in the US, so we should obtain more support from the US headquarter.

Advice to Senior Management

The remuneration level should be higher for high potentials.
The sale policy should be enforced and sales incentives should be more fair and higher.

Pros

Dying firm in France : more than 40% of the working forces has volontary left the firm in 2008. The drain is continuing in 2009 with the management helping it!

Cons

This Company is not known outside of the US and outside of the SOX field.
Except some of the "Manager and above", most of the staff is "ticking auditors" with no understanding of the business of their clients. Testing for SOX jobs is NOT consulting !

Advice to Senior Management

1- SOX is dead in France since 2007, diversifying activities in mid 2007 was to late. So, rethink deeply the business model.
2- Go outside to meet clients instide of sitting of your comfortable chair at your desk !
