Decent place to work for your first job out of college, but not if you want to be consistently challenged.

Senior consultant - financial advisory

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Semi-competitive pay - Friendly people - Exposure to a lot of industries - Employee-first culture

Cons

- Somewhat tricky to switch to other functional areas (tech, risk/compliance, etc.) -- also takes a few years - Not the most sensitive to employee wants re: types of work, staffing is kind of at the mercy of EM wants. - Repetitive work, depending on the functional area you're coded to - Used to have good WLB, in the past 1-2 years or so, the expectation is that you work more (with no pay for overtime--standard for most firms--but still) depending on your team. Some are more laid-back, others are insane. Very EM-driven, so you either get lucky, or you don't.

Upper management culture sucks

Consultant 2

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is alot of chances for people to get put on some very interesting projects that will push their career. Being forced to learn things on the spot really makes everyone good at what they do.

Cons

Protiviti is currently conducting a huge firing spree. So far have let go close to 200 personnel. This was mostly created due to a hiring initiative that overestimated the amount of available projects that protiviti would have on their books. Management has shut down concerns of numerous employees under senior status, and have even placed employees in the wrong function based on outdated staffing methodologies. If you want to make it big in protivi do not come in as a consultant 1 or 2 and be ready to play politics.

Horrible Experience

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good entry-level position post grad

Cons

Worked matched for consultants are not based on consultant experience. Feedback given does not consider the consultant's level/experience yet negative feedback greatly impacts the consultant. Their advisor program/setup is extremely lackluster. While they pride themselves on their people and company culture, the reality is it's merely a façade. The project culture is results driven only at the expense of the employer. "Get the job done at any cost and work as long as you need to" mentality.
