Pros

-The only truly good reason to work here is the people. Most of the people here are really nice and helpful. -Do not work much overtime.

Cons

-Work is extremely boring and repetitive. -Work is easy and non-challenging. -You do not learn anything from this job. -No skills will be learned that will be useful in another job, unless wanting to be in internal audit. -Incentive programs are not very good, bonuses are low. -Most work relating to SOX Testing. -You may have little influence as to what/ where your assignments may be. -Most people select their jobs based on the people, but this is an exception. No matter how great the people here are the work will make you miserable because it is so slow and boring.

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you are enjoying the people you are working with and that you find Protiviti’s work/life blend to be positive. In regards to your project work, I would encourage you to reach out to your advisor network and resource management team. If there is a particular type of work that you are interested in or specific skills you would like to grow, those two resources can help you explore those opportunities. We also offer several local trainings on our solution offerings. I would suggest reaching out to your respective solution leadership with your concerns. Our promises to our people are a key component of our strategy. These promises include providing Exceptional Development Opportunities, so we’d like to make sure that promise is being met. Again, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

Pros

Good WLB Great Bosses Health insurance & benefits are awesome Very flexible workforce Easy to climb up in promotions

Cons

Pay is below standard (Although I feel you still get paid decently for the area) If you're put on a production project, be ready to feel stuck. Management is very lost on where they want to head into the future. I am worried this company won't last much longer (Former arthur anderson) Can feel clique-y at times amongst peers (but this is not a problem of the company specifically)
