Pros
The Location maybe? Met nice people.
Cons
• Terrible company to be a consultant for, at least on the Protiviti side, Top heavy organization that fails to scope roles correctly, they under pay/ mis-define roles and under support all their consultants and promise the client they will train you and support but leave you to the sharks. • They try to provide a managed service solution to their clients but the leaders of the strategy on the Protiviti side, fall short in their understanding consistently and overwhelmingly, which puts a consultant as the onsite POC in a bad position. • They completely changed the scope and experience level required for my SOW and would not provide training or resources and declined to adjust my rate based on the job market for the new role. I left early because I was making $20,000 less a year that my peers. • In addition to that they are terrible communicators on the operational side of the house. I never knew who to ask for help, never fully understood the sick time benefit, they never told me that my insurance needed to be cancelled by myself when I left, and they had it set up to be paid via my personal debit card with out even consulting me. When I called to cancel the benefit, company said I could not receive a refund for fees I was already charged. • They don’t keep their equipment up to date and have had people working without fully functional tools. Or they are not trained enough in the available tools and their solutions waste time and add little value. • They seem to try to squeeze profit from their consultants and will not in any way negotiate on your behalf regarding pay or SOW. • They will blame you for anything they can to save face with the client, especially in meetings you are not attending. • Not a good place even as a transition role, you will probably have to unlearn anything you learn with this company.
