Pros

Protiviti is still a small place, kind of like 'Cheers,' where everybody knows your name. I have enjoyed unparalleled support from across all levels of professional, accompanied by an active interest in me and my development (both professional and personal).

Cons

Onboarding is weak, because the company is so tight. Mentor selection is critical, and haphazard. Assimilating can be difficult. Newcomers must be patient with development of relationships and expectations. Protiviti is actively addressing this issue by revamping onboarding for experienced hires and those who join off-cycle.

Thank you for sharing your experience at Protiviti. What you are experiencing is a fantastic and practical benefit of working in an organization where people know and respect each other. Let me reinforce the "A" priority we are placing on strengthening our onboarding and orientation programs. We have already introduced a number of improvements to help our new employees get oriented to our culture, tap into employee networks, build a strong relationship with their advisor networks, and start contributing. More to come, and I hope we can continue to lean on employees like you to help our newer employers make the transition into Protiviti.
