Pros

It is what you make of it. It's a great launching point to build some of those soft skills you want to develop in a safe space.

Advice to Management

Find a way to keep your talent. They are leaving left and right for better opportunities, and you will continue to lose talent aka exodus by shipping off newer consultants to do the work that you need specialized skill sets to execute. Clients are not blind to that. They will pick up that you are not being genuine in efforts to win work based on having the right resources available to do the work. As well, stop accepting just the work that you can win which is uninteresting to our consulting workforce. MDs are doing that because they are selfishly looking at their bottom line. Your workforce will leave because their work is less impactful even if the pay is consistent with that level of effort. This is not a model that will sustain itself. People want to be valued in their efforts and be compensated for it. People want to be engaged in what they do. If no one is looking out for them, they have to look out for themselves. Generally speaking though, management comes across as "trying to be fair", but we know you've already picked your favorites. Promotions are no surprises per se but reviewing the past cycles of promotions, you can see that management wasn't really very hard.

Pros

Made some great friends, but that’s about it

Advice to Management

Be fair to everyone

Pros

- Better entry level pay than Big 4
- Good mentorship program (if you are fortunate to have proactive mentors)
- Good opportunity for new college grads to gain exposure to other industries/companies

Advice to Management

There is a lot of work to be done to make the Protiviti SF office a desirable and sustainable employer in the Bay Area market. To start, the work won could be under more realistic timelines and budgets to avoid burning out your staff, which leads to the rapid turnover being seen. The culture could be improved by diversifying the channels of recruiting to maximize inclusion. The burden of long commutes could be addressed by normalizing more flexible commuting options or adding additional compensation for all heavy commuters. Additionally, recruiting could be a little more transparent with the primary work done (SOX audits), commutes, culture, etc. I wish management and the company the best of luck in improving the work environment in the Bay Area office.

Pros

As you conduct research about the company, or as you spend time at recruiting events or interviews, you will consistently hear that the best part of working at Protiviti is the culture. After just over one year of working here, I can confidently say that Protiviti's culture is the best I have ever experienced. Its people are incredibly supportive, positive, and jovial; management is accessible and intelligent; and the work-life balance is the best in the industry.
