Thank you for your feedback. I am so glad you are enjoying your new role at Protiviti! I hope you were able to participate in our Leadership Survey that we completed in April. Each of our leaders reviews their feedback with their Advisor team and creates action plans where change is needed. That process is very important to us. If you feel you are not being heard, please share this feedback with your Advisor or with your HR Lead. On the point of more office-wide activities, I would love to encourage you to get involved in the planning of these events. It can differ by office, but we have town hall meetings, DITOs, summer socials, holiday parties, trainings, community service events and more that run throughout the year. We would love your help in creating the Protiviti you want it to be. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Good company to join out of college, some room for improvements

Senior consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a consulting company with many offices, solutions, and clients. Your personal experiences may vary. To summarize my experience: - Office culture: I know this one is cliche, but Protiviti does have a unique culture. Individuals are professional, friendly, and it's easy to develop peer and mentor relationships. There are some very fun people to work alongside and most are down for a drink after work. - Work/Life Balance: I was rarely asked to work more than 40 hours per week. When I was, it was typically due to things outside of my manager's control and was rewarded & appreciated - Freedom to jump solutions / projects: It's possible to vary your projects but it's going to take some self-navigation, networking, and trust to get there - The organization has levels but feels very flat - good access to and reception from leadership - Lots of free food and travel is available - Good time off and flexibility to actually use it (looking at you, Big 4) - There are some really bright and involved managers that can help steer and grow your career

Cons

- The word "consulting" is thrown around pretty liberally. You'll likely end up on a SOX or loan staff project at some point (hint: there's a reason companies are outsourcing this particular work). - Consultants and seniors are not issued cell phones, which forced me to rely on my personal cell phone for work calls for many years (sorry Protiviti, Skype for Business lines are not a cell phone replacement, especially if you are on the road)

Chargeability is the name of the game

Manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

None of the red tape of a large consulting firm.

Cons

It's a small consulting firm. You won't get anywhere if you aren't chargeable. Doesn't matter if you operate at a level higher than yours, if you don't have the chargeable work to show for it, this firm will not take care of you.
