Healthcare is it's own bubble

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the people do want you to learn a lot, especially managers and below. Lots of opportunities to try different projects. There is a semi-clear cut path to your line of progression/promotion.

Cons

Once you hit the director level or above, especially the lead, there is a full loss of compassion and understanding / the culture is horrendous. People will literally be in the hospital and unable to work and the tone is deaf, still pushing to gain business contacts. The end of the day is of course the bottom line. Post-COVID, the path to promotion is murky as there is not as much of a standard / expectations matching across the teams. But hey, most companies will be like that sometimes.

Not Big 4 - And That's a Good Thing

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Although the pay might be lower than one may receive at bigger competitors, Protiviti generally offers a better work-life balance in return.

Cons

It is more difficult, than advertised, to move to different teams within the firm. Additionally, you can get stuck on projects that aren't necessarily beneficial to your career.
