Protiviti Reviews

Cons

High cost for healthcare, pay is OK/average

Cons

Though benefits are good overall (and there are a variety of benefits offered), the paid parental leave is not competitive with other firms. The paid parental leave needs to be lengthened considerably for both moms and dads.

Cons

The 401k benefit can improve

Cons

Staffing can be a bit behind at times; training not as thorough as it could be

Cons

-Exit opportunities are truly only good for Internal Audit / compliance or Finance/Accounting functions; if you're seeking more transformation/strategy roles, we do not have the reputation in the market to do so easily. It'd be an uphill effort.
-Not a lot of intellectual property to leverage like bigger, more established firms; thus, we have to create the recipe every time, which could be a good and a bad thing...but from a client perspective, we could have two consulting teams providing advice to two different business units of a client and arrive at completely different conclusions; this would not reflect well on us.
-Pay is benchmarked to internal audit (Big 4 IA practice) vs. actual consultancies (Consulting arms of Big 4 or McKinsey et al); thus, if not for the work life balance and good culture, people has few financial reasons to stay.
-Having been in multiple solutions before, each solution is almost like a separate company; thus, we have work to do to standardize our knowledge/skills/culture across solutions at all levels.

Cons

In the first few years, performance is largely based on changeability (same as any consulting firm). This can be a little unmotivating. Protiviti does a good job of recognizing those giving excellent client service.

Cons

Extremely burdensome administrative processes spanning all aspects of the company from budgeting, to project accounting, to employee reviews. Heavy on the Staff Augmentation, when marketed as a 'management consulting' firm.
 A lof of internal politics surrounding which employees are forced into 'staffing company' type production work and lone staffing. Policies surrounded pay, time off and benefits very unclear, and struggled to be understood by most. Projects are widely underbudgeted, with most detriment directly impacting the management level and below, and not the director level.

Cons

Retaining best people. Mixed culture - some want to work like big4, others want less pressure, firms wants to keep both happy and therefore has a split. Bonus structure is low.

Cons

Lots of sitting throughout the day

Cons

Might be put on projects over and over again you may not like. Different managers have different "personalities and expectations."

Standard ladder don't expect to jump unless you bring in a lot of money.
