Protiviti Reviews

Pros

I began my career at Protiviti 3 years ago and wasn’t sure how long I would be here, but now I don’t see myself going anywhere anytime soon. The people I work with truly care about my career growth and my salary has almost doubled in the time I’ve been here. My work life balance is unmatched and the work remains remote with encouragement to come in at least once or twice a week but there is no set requirement (I go in twice a week because my office throws great events and I’ve become good friends with many of my peers). Truly a great place to work.

Cons

There has been encouragement for us to work 45 hour weeks vs. 40 but I’ll take that over 60 hour weeks at other big consulting firms any day. There is also a lot of variance in pay bands and it’s not very clear what those bands are but I feel well compensated.

Pros

Terrific culture of inclusion, collaboration and opportunity for advancement.

Cons

No significant downsides to working at Protiviti

Pros

Meet ton of cool people and somewhat ability to move around try new roles. Go in with the mindset of advancing your career and get certified while there if you can. Also network like your next job depends on it because it does.

Cons

Pay wasn't great in some situations where you are put under a ton of stress. I understand why there is a great deal of turnover. Network into better roles if you like the company.

Pros

Good entry-level position post grad

Cons

Worked matched for consultants are not based on consultant experience. Feedback given does not consider the consultant's level/experience yet negative feedback greatly impacts the consultant. Their advisor program/setup is extremely lackluster. While they pride themselves on their people and company culture, the reality is it's merely a façade. The project culture is results driven only at the expense of the employer. "Get the job done at any cost and work as long as you need to" mentality.

Pros

Everyone is willing to assist you if you work from home based on how competent they are. You can network with regional teams and enjoy free access to all company sites worldwide.

Cons

You might need to be an expert in your field if you want to succeed in the Company because of your position there and whatever expectations they may have of you. Otherwise, things will be very difficult for you to navigate.

Pros

People are usually great to work with, some smart folks, leadership team that seems to care about our people, hybrid working environment, and a lot of autonomy.

Cons

Absent Leadership on projects at times, uninspiring work at times,

Pros

Very robust training program and there are opportunities to make a real impact for your team

Cons

Can’t think of any at the moment

Pros

easy going, fun team, good culture

Cons

not great pay initially, audit

Pros

Supportive and understanding leadership. Many resources to help you succeed. Lots of opportunities for advancement. Open and honest communication with senior management.

Cons

Even if you proactively manage your schedule and communicate your preferences, you can end up on less desirable engagements, but this is the nature of consulting. Middle of the pack benefits.

Pros

The firm has truly believed in me from Day 1 and I have had great experience with leadership throughout my tenure. Job security is excellent as they have not had layoffs in 10 years (even through COVID). You need to make sure you connect with leadership so you get staffed and meet your bonus billing numbers. People come Big 4 come to Protiviti all the time and experience a much better work/life balance.

Cons

I don't like the 3 year vesting period for 401k and the match only pays out once a year. I would prefer the match to pay out every 2 weeks or every month.
