Pros

Protiviti is big enough where you can get varied experience (IA, Process improvement, IT consulting) and small enough to get recognized for your hardwork. Management is friendly. The team overall is young and fun. They love people with big 4 experience.

Cons

Protiviti is growing and it is growing fast but it is still not a recognized brand- does not do much for your resume. Because it is growing, they have more resource needs than people. You are often a body who is placed on projects regardless of our career goals or what you may have been promised during the interview. You are told to talk to your career advisor but it often falls on deaf ears as business needs in a rapidly growing office supersede everything else. Get ready for a lot of SOX. - their main sell to clients is SOX. The turn over is ridiculous! Many year 1 and 2 consultants get some experience and jump ships. NEGOTIATE YOUR SALARY! I didn't negotiate and found out I am significantly underpaid compared to my peers. They will tell you it is because of the experience XYZ brings but it is incorrect. NEGOTIATE!

Pros

Great customers because you hunt, kill and eat to stay aluve

Cons

If you don't drink the kool-aid they will find a way to push you out. too much focus on college hires causes the inability to deliver high quality meaningful services

Pros

Growing rapidly, investing aggressively in growth. Financial services practice is expanding in depth and breadth of offerings. Bringing on strong talent from both industry and consulting. Management shares wins, losses, state of the practice, compensation, etc openly. Strongest collaboration within and across practice areas I have ever encountered. They truly set you up for success. Management has an open door policy - and means it. Integration with Robert Half has provided access to an enterprise sales team and some great connections. So far, work life balance seems strong and there is flexibility in working locations when not on an engagement.

Cons

The only 'cons' I can talk to are benefits and the integration of Protiviti into RHI's benefits. Benefits are extremely costly when compared to my previous employers. The integration into Robert Half's benefits programs has been messy -- enrollment records not making it over to vendors. Paid time off and number of company holidays is slightly less than the competition. The 401k match is one of the lowest I've seen. Finally, I would hope that there would be more line of sight to the CEO... practice leadership is visible, but Joe has not been.

Thank you for all of the positive feedback and we certainly are pressing those recruiters as hard as we can (and hiring more recruiters as well)! We are proud of our culture and so grateful you attest to our collaborative nature and open door policy. We did migrate to a new benefits platform for 2015 and definitely encountered some bumps in the road. The overall result is that we have many more options for health coverage for employees to select from, including high deductible plans, so employees may choose the coverage that best meets their needs. We will continue to benchmark our benefits cost against our competitors. Our 401(k) is another benefit that we regularly benchmark and find that our match compares favorably in the consulting industry. We did increase our match a year ago (January 2014) and will continue to evaluate the competitiveness of our plan. Joe, our CEO, is based on New York, but is often traveling to meet with clients as well as employees around the world. Joe often attends our milestone training schools as well as participates in office town hall meetings (such as New York’s February meeting) and also participates in local office I on Hunger events. Throughout the year, he visits many of our offices and attends office events to interact with our employees.
