Protiviti reviews

Protiviti was late in adjusting its focus from SOX audit to general consulting services. Over the past two years, the local leadership has been predicting the decline of Sarbanes Oxley related work, yet no apparent shift or adaptation seemed to occur until after the economy began its decline. The firm has been reluctant to invest in it's resilient niche service offerings like IT security, opting instead to keep the entire firm in the same compensation and career model. Locally this has lead to a lot of resignations in the growth areas and a lot of layoffs in the stagnant areas. The shift to general consulting services appears to be more of a marketing move than an operational move, as very few offices and service lines are making the change.

Leadership leaves a lot to be desired; especially with the downturn of the economy, the leadership team has floundered with decision making. And in making those decisions has done a poor job communicating news to the company. Salary = poor Lack of career development and growth For a relatively small company the management team is out of touch with the Senior and Consultant levels.
