Pros

When people say Protiviti has the best people to work with, they are not lying. Upper Management is easily accessible 10 week parental leave Clear path to promotion

Cons

Upper Management is mostly white males. Pay is WAY LESS than what the market calls for. Benefits are not comparable, 401k match is low, education support is very very low (you won't be able to pay 1 semester with their offering) Protiviti used to stand apart from the big 4 by allowing their consultants to have a work/life balance..... now it's turned to more of a big 4 culture where all that's being stressed is billable hours...

Great opportunity to grow as an individual based off of your technical and behavioral skillset.

If you are not assigned to a client, you could be on the bench which will affect your bonus.

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
