The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Protiviti (New York, NY) in Dec 2010
Interview
I applied online and got a response within 72 hours. A phone interview was scheduled for the next week. Was a simple phone interview consisting of basic fit and behavioral questions. Lasted about 15 minutes.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Protiviti
Interview
Applied online on the college portal. Got an email about a networking dinner and an on campus interview the next day. You get to meet one your interviewers in the networking dinner and the atmosphere was pretty chill. The interview day was also quite easy going, there was 30 mins of behavioral and 30 mins of case study. You get to look at the case study the night before the interview. The entire process was low pressure and quite enjoyable. Just be yourself, they really look for a culture fit.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Protiviti (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
Applied online, visited them at the career fair, on campus interview of an hour-- 30 min behavioral and 30 min technical. Super laid back. Was invited for an office visit and dinner where there was a panel and then two more behavioral interviews where they just want to get to know you better. Overall, very relaxed.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Protiviti (Boston, MA) in Oct 2017
Interview
There was an event the night before the interview where I had the opportunity to meet some current employees and the other candidates. Everyone was seated at tables and there were a limited number of seats, so it was difficult to talk to more than one of the employees.
I had two back-to-back 30 minute interviews on campus the next day. One of the interviews was a case study. I was emailed a process diagram the night before the interview, then during the interview I was given some additional information about the case. The interviewer asked some questions about how I would improve the process and to identify some risks in the process. Make sure you review the types of solutions Protiviti offers to clients. It seemed like they were looking for a specific "right" answer to some of the questions.
The other interview was just standard behavioral questions. Know why you want to work at Protiviti and why that specific position. My interviewer was nice, but she wasted the majority of the time talking about herself, which left me little time to answer/ask questions. I heard back from them within a week.
