I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Protiviti (Athens, GA) in Sep 2015
Interview
There are two phases to the interview process. The first involves a 30 minute case study and a 30 minute behavioral section. During the case study portion, I was given a business process model along with an overview of the scenario and was told to talk about the issues I noticed and the potential solutions. If you are invited to a second interview (second phase), you will have the interview at the location of your preference. The second phase is a two-day interview.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Protiviti (New York, NY) in Sep 2025
Interview
Very friendly and helpful interviewers willing to help you out a little if you’re stuck during the case interview portion. For behavioral, typical STAR method but still a challenging process regardless.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to work in a team environment?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Protiviti
Interview
One interview and case study
Case study took well over 5-6 hours of unpaid work if you were to do it detail. Requested JD on 3 occasions from HR, was eventually given vague high level description. It is completely unclear what they want, you would need project management and scoping skills, also detailed solution architecture and hands on coding skills. The coding exercise would take 2 hours on its own. The role requested 3 years experience.
Questions were basic and didn't enquire about candidate experience, many MCQ one line response questions.
Interviewer was unable to tell me sir the role, the practice or company. Was unwilling to share details of his own experience within the company, or types of projects.
The first introduction was a phone call with recruiter. The second round is a 30 minute behavioral and a 30 minute technical interview. Overall, it was very well done, and I think I learned a lot about the firm overall.
