Pros

Work life balance - I have worked for other firms and the difference at Protiviti is clearly the work life balance. The company values the fact that employees have a life outside of work, therefore there is no busy season as you would typically find in an accounting firm that would require 60+ hours. A typical work week at Protiviti is 40-45 hours.

Cons

Fortunately, I can't say that I have come across anything negative. Protiviti is truly a great place to start your career with a variety of different opportunities. The amount of travel will depend on which office you are based out of since some offices have a strong Internal Audit / IT Audit base.

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

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.
