Pros

Great certification program and a great protiviti university with access to various courses. A great team environment in regards to togetherness. They have lots of activities and l think it helps that you are tide to an office enabling you to network properly with others. Decent benefits and CTO. Great working approach on leading a diversity iniative. They have a small reimbursement fee that you can use for internet or phone. There sabbatical program is great as well as the exchange to go live abroad. Their paternity and maternity leave is decent. Looking at career opportunties are pretty good from what l saw as there is no time limit for the next promotion.Quick interview process. You do alot more sourcing which sharpens your skills.

Cons

Well do not take the role if you are making a change in industry or/its your first time recruiting heavily for some new titles. There is no real training or onboarding. the expectation is you "should" already know. They don't have an organized process and don't take the time to explain what it is they have.Not enough recruiter seats so you are left using an outdated ATS(Yello). Yello is great for campus, but not experienced. Everyone is pinpointed to different people when questions are asked as its bothersome to ask management. You are assigned a career advisor and l do not understand why? The person l was assigned l met starting after onboarding to only find out she was my manager. l recall making a mistake and the response was "where is the disconnect" clearly that should have been a coachable moment. No diversity in my group except for myself and one asian girl. You can't say your overwhelm and can't be to slow either (even when its your first month there) as l was told that l was hired to be a "senior" and should know this by now. They will not hire anyone that has done contract , but depending on where the diverse number is needed then they make exceptions. The approval process takes forever , its everyone and god that must get this process approved. They post a ton of positions and have supposed requirements , but they aren't used. The recruiters have to go in and clean up these reports. You have to make sure you are always submitting candidates , yet you are doing more preliminary interviews and those don't count. Yet it complicates things when you don't pay and you can't sponsor. They claim this is a coachable and teachable environment, please DO NOT leave your job if you think that. also do not ask bosses for feedback, they barely will give you viable amd helpful feedback. You rather go get fed to the wolves in that case

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.
