Great people, very limited opportunities, strange decisions

Business Outlook

Pros

The people care and your development is their priority. Quick promotions

Cons

Drastically different experience depending on location. Seem to have shifted away from IAFA towards tech consulting which was a very fast unexpected shift. Rather than innovate our approach to a core offering to become more compelling, the company has chosen to enter a new and competitive field they seem to have little experience with and it shows. Work was incredibly limited, I was on one kind of engagement my entire employment (SOX). Other opportunities were rare and often involved travel or were given to managers. Manager quality has decreased as hiring speed increased. Managers are often hesitant to be innovative and lack ideas in this realm. Pay and benefits are bad

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience working at Protiviti. I wish we could have had the opportunity to engage you further on the various solution offerings we do provide. While it's important that we grow through hiring, we do focus heavily on ensuring a full one year transition through our Passport to Protiviti program. However, we recognize that your experience is not what we strive to be and we have taken your feedback to heart. Best of luck in the future!

Pros

The culture at Protiviti really sets the organization apart. It is very welcoming, collaborative and inclusive. Leadership is really pushing innovation across the board to ensure the company and people are well positioned for the future. The relationship to Robert Half, who owns Protiviti, provides huge financial backing and stability, as well as opportunities to provide services in concert with Robert Half that other organizations simple cannot.

Cons

Because the organization is so collaborative, there are times were decision making should be faster. The organization is growing quickly which is good, but there are growing pains in how we operate and change to grow beyond our $1B run rate.

Pros

Made some great friends, but that’s about it

Cons

Terrible management - advisors are not necessarily the best and not looking out for your best interest. Management clearly shows favorites- sometimes not necessarily based on their work product Unless if you get into one of the more interesting risk and compliance project, they’re mostly mindless work, that don’t really help you grow or use those skills elsewhere. Luckily I was able to take my experience before protiviti elsewhere.
