Pros

Protiviti offers a lot in terms of opportunity to perform at a level above yours. There are many opportunities to receive leadership opportunities that, I think, would not be available at a lot of other firms. This is probably due to the relatively smaller size of the company. Also I think the chance to be a part of a growing company with the ability to forge your own niche is there. Like most firms, Protiviti offers good (not great) benefits, bonus compensation, and a good amount of paid time off. Protiviti has a somewhat entrepenuerial spirit because of the aforementioned size and place in the market.

Cons

Management is out of touch with staff, in terms of what staff find valuable in work experience. Employees have little to no bearing over what experience they will receive and often have their wishes disregarded quickly after voicing them. Management within the company seems to lack the pedigree and experience of some other firms. While one would assume them to be the most motivated group in the company they often seem to be the least motivated (apart from a select few). Staff often both plan and execute work with little regard from management. This lack of care, oversight, and general will to work leads to finger pointing when things don't go as planned. Accountability is severely lacking outside of the staff level.

Pros

Protiviti is a great place to launch a career. You have the opportunity to gain valuable consulting experience, which is vital for building strong teamwork and client relationship-building skills. The firm has a great open-door policy where most upper management are very approachable (especially in the New York office). Most of the colleagues are in the similar age group which gives the office a fun atmosphere. Upper management are also very good at accommodating the staff's need to take time off.

Cons

The salary are not competitive with other competitors. The home-grown staff/managers are way underpaid comparing to their peers that came in from outside. The company also doesn't respond promptly to get the overall salaries adjusted. The company also lacks the brand recognition. This has been a challenge with the company since three years ago.

Pros

Protiviti is a great place to launch a career. New hires out of college have many opportunities to experience different industries and projects. Seniors and managers are also very willing to help develop core business skills to new clients.

Cons

Protiviti like most companies is struggling with the current economic conditions. Their new branding and solution focus is probably too little too late. Lets face it, Protiviti is known for internal audit, SOX and being former Andersen. It is unfortunate that they could not develop more annuity work from their former clients. Protiviti's efforts to reduce costs has caused many of their top talent to leave or plan to leave. The current morale is low. Salaries are frozen and bonuses have been cancelled. People are now working hard to keep their jobs. In the long run this mentality will cause people to find jobs with more stability. In the long run, Protiviti should better define themselves in the marketplace and focus on the areas where they have top talent and can develop more annuity work.
