Pros

I began my career at Protiviti 3 years ago and wasn’t sure how long I would be here, but now I don’t see myself going anywhere anytime soon. The people I work with truly care about my career growth and my salary has almost doubled in the time I’ve been here. My work life balance is unmatched and the work remains remote with encouragement to come in at least once or twice a week but there is no set requirement (I go in twice a week because my office throws great events and I’ve become good friends with many of my peers). Truly a great place to work.

Cons

There has been encouragement for us to work 45 hour weeks vs. 40 but I’ll take that over 60 hour weeks at other big consulting firms any day. There is also a lot of variance in pay bands and it’s not very clear what those bands are but I feel well compensated.

Terrible Experience

Pros

Met some nice people at the firm who are actually willing to teach and learn. fun office events great mentor program passport program is great too.

Cons

Unfortunately, my experience here was terrible. I was told I ask stupid questions and am not capable of performing the job. I was new at the firm and instead of using it as an opportunity for constructive criticism, they choose to rip me apart instead. Senior consultant clearly threw me under the bus and did not want to help me out. Every other person I worked with said I was a good worker. I was told to eat time and actually had to change my time sheet a few times. They expected me to know things about the firm I was never told about or informed. The exit interview was a joke, it was only a few minutes long and showed that HR was not going to look into what happened to me.

It's important to us that our people feel invigorated by the work they do and the people they work with. It sounds like we have not met your expectations and we would like to understand more. We encourage you to set up some time with your local HR lead and/or your Career or Executive advisor to talk through your concerns so that we can best help to support you in your professional goals.
