Protiviti Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Protiviti full-time for less than a year

Pros – Extremely laid back and casual. Everyone is very friendly and there are often morale events. Working alongside Microsoft Licensing employees is a great way to make connections that can lead to jobs at Big 4 companies, as well.

Cons – Require a lot of CPE, although some of it does not pertain to the actual job. The work is also somewhat seasonal, so some weeks there will be very little do, then some times you work 60 hour weeks.

Former Employee – worked at Protiviti full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The people are incredible. It's like a tight knit family. The career advancement is worth starting here. Thoroughly enjoyed happy hours, time spent in the office, and the events outside of work.

Cons – Controls. Too much work on controls, test scripts, controls, and more controls. The work can't really be translated to another job, unless it's Internal Audit work with controls. Also, pay can be much more competitive.

Pros – Great balance between public accounting and industry accounting. They have opportunities to advance every few years of your career. Great work/life balance. Awesome training, they send you each time you get promoted to a nearly a 2 week training in another city with all the other professionals from other offices in order to network. Higher starting pay than Public Accounting position.

Former Employee – worked at Protiviti full-time for more than a year

Pros – Consulting is nice if you don't want to be stuck working on the same thing constantly. You get exposure to different things, different industries, etc. by being on different projects. Also, if you like to travel this will be a plus for you as often times the project may require some type of traveling.

Cons – My biggest complaint at this company is that the pay was not comparable to similar positions at other companies.

Advice to Senior Management – Better pay and better benefits

Former Employee – worked at Protiviti full-time for more than a year

Pros – Consultants and Senior Consultants are generally good people.

Cons – Managers and Senior Managers are just self serving individuals using whoever it takes at whatever cost it takes to make it to Director. I've been told mandatory overtime and eat lunch at your desk. It makes for a very stressful situation.

Pay is also not on par with the experience people bring. Promotions are not based on who is most qualified but on who is most liked. Heed this warning if you are considering applying to this company.

Advice to Senior Management – Watch what your managers and senior managers do. They are not effectively leading and motivating Consultants and Senior Consultants.

Former Employee – worked at Protiviti full-time for more than a year

Pros – Pretty reasonable pay for the industry. The people and culture are what makes the company. Everyone is fairly young and very reasonable in terms of providing work load, etc. Unlike the Big 4 and/or other large employers, you can move up as quickly as you'd like if you work hard enough.

Cons – Prepare to travel nearly all of the time. Very little formal training, employees are often expected to perform in their job function with little to no guidance. Nature of most projects can be very dry.

Advice to Senior Management – Develop more employee incentive travel plans, and training programs.

Pros – The people are genuinely nice and pleasant to work with, and their offices are professional. Overall, the people are the best part about the organization.

Cons – The company is heavily process-oriented, and may not cater to those who have a thriving entrepreneurial spirit. In retrospect, it just wasn't the right fit.

Advice to Senior Management – Consider the transformation to a technology-driven company and streamline your labor-intensive processes by leveraging new tehcnologies.
