Pros

The people here are just genuinely nice. I haven't been here for a long time but since day one I felt welcome. My colleagues are collaborative and professional but are fun to hang out with. People are busy but most clearly have a passion for Protiviti and what they're doing. It feels like we're a team that's working toward a greater goal. I enjoy working with people I can learn from. Tons of learning and development opportunities and ability and incentive to get certifications. Access to executive leadership - My office MD is awesome and he is always available if you need something. I've heard this is the case in other offices as well. There are different solution areas so there's a lot of variety of projects and stuff to get involved in. The projects aren't always the sexiest technologies, clients, or work, but it feels important and I can get exposure to lots of different things that I never would be able to if I was somewhere else. My training was awesome. I received a schedule before I started of what to expect and never felt like I was left to sink or swim.

Cons

The 401k match needs to be better - it's not competitive at all. I think health insurance costs are a little high, though I'm happy that there is a variety of options to choose from. There is an HSA match if you go with a higher deductible plan.

Thanks for the positive feedback regarding Protiviti and the Chicago Office! Glad to hear orientation was smooth and you have fit right in since that initial first day. We work hard to have an inviting, collaborative environment where you can team, ask questions and gain a variety of work experience. Protiviti is known for our People and Culture – great having you be part of that! We also appreciate your feedback on our 401(k). We are continually benchmarking our 401(k) to be sure we align with the consulting industry.

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.
