Pros

The people are smart...the work is challenging...I am learning skills that I can use as I progress at Protiviti or elsewhere if I decide to leave to do something else. I enjoy the fast paced environment and the fact that the work changes everyday. I've traveled both in the U.S. and globally and have enjoyed learning new cultures and seeing how businesses are run globally. The executive leadership team shares their strategy with the rest of the office and we feel that we are a part of creating our future. The training programs are great - Protiviti is redesigning some of the training programs right now to align with their new methodology and I look forward to taking one of those courses in March or April.

Cons

I want to see more training in the business development area as I progress as a manager.

Pros

People that you work with are motivated to push the product or make the sale. We are selling anything we can provide services for and perform well. Definitely a good place to learn about from people that have a lot of experience.

Cons

Its the frat house of the working world. If you like that kind of atmosphere great. If not Protiviti might not be for you. There is definitely the work hard play hard mentality. If you aren't the type of person to actively seek out opportunities to fit in and be recognized at the same time you could get the feeling of being left behind.

Protiviti = Politics (at the expense of their Clients and Staff)

Pros

Protiviti does provide exposure to some great industries. Pay rate is comparable. Seem to care about what is needed to provide service to client. Appears to be a good place for a young out of college student who is able to execute and not veer off track by thinking for themselves. Following management orders to the letter is strictly adhered. Expect to be chargeable, but may have to work a lot of overtime without compensation or recognition. Be a good soldier, not questioning authority and you will be good to go. If you think you can fall in line, with this mentality go for it.

Cons

POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS. Not interested in hearing how to work more efficiently and effectively if Senior Management is the one who started the process. Push it out the door no matter what the cost. Not the place to be if you care more about the product than Senior Management. Big 4 was never this bad. Very disappointed with the quality of product being produced - a cookie cutter approach with no ability to think outside the box. Just make sure you make it "look good". If you are smart and female, forget about this old boy establish. Old school reins and we are talking the little red school house.
