Great Place to Start Your Career

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working in a smaller office of Protiviti provides greater opportunity to gain a broad array of industries and solutions within your first few years. In addition, each project you work on has a different team makeup which helps you to learn how to adapt to different team dynamics. The early on opporutnity to get face time with upper level management at clients helps to gain professionalism from your first day at work.

Cons

There is no incentive for consultants to perform at an above average level because each consultant gets promoted on the same timeline. In addition, when consultants begin working for one member of management they can get pidgeon holed under one manager, which does not lead to the vast amount of opportunity provided to other consultants. Project Evaluations are not set up in a way to provide a consistent, objective approach.

Do your homework.

Senior manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The firm recognizes good performance and promotes a healthy work/life balance.

Cons

A recent round of layoffs among the consultant,senior consultant, and manager ranks has cast some doubts on this firm's ability to grow sales at it previous pace. An initial heavy reliance on Sarbanes-Oxley and internal audit engagements has made it difficult to re-brand itself as a firm that offers other types of consulting services. The employee benefits are limited with very small 401K match, restrictive stock profit-sharing program, and limited tuition reimbursement.

A company with great potential but a lot of work to do

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A great place to launch a career. Exposure to a lot of different companies and different levels of management.

Cons

Limited in the types of work you can do; very audit focused. Not a lot of professional development and training. Seems to be a lack of focus from senior management in terms of guiding the company, retaining employees and strategic decisions. Not a place I would want to have a career.
