Protiviti reviews

Kuwait is a hardship posting regardless of what others may say. There is virtually no night life, and regulations are generally very fundamentalistic. Employment laws and other regulations in general are outdated. The firm itself is not representative of an Arab office and is mostly staffed by expatriates from Asia. Protiviti Member Firm (Middle East) is one of a few franchise operations for Protiviti globally. Not surprisingly, this means their internal systems are not up to par. Although the assignments are attractive in nature, office organization is shambolic and not conducive to professional quality due to under investment in facilities. Human Resource quality is very poor due to deficient hiring and training policies. Formal training is almost non existent. Client commitments are almost never met, and adherence to time is a virtually unknown, including arrival at the office on time. During my stint at the office in Kuwait I continuously worked from 70 - 80 hours per week to attempt to change mindset and ensure client commitments were adhered to. Adherence to contractual (employment) terms is also very poor. Basically an organization that grinds poorer quality graduates and professionals while pretending to be a top class professional services firm.

the firm is a leader in a niche service line that is not an absolute requirement for clients to purchase. therefore there is a lot of pressure to sell at all managerial and above ranks of the company.ny.
