Good culture, but poor work-life balance

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Coworkers and management are very nice and engaged - Benefits are nice and HR uses feedback from employees to update employee perks - Pay could be better but it's not terrible - Protiviti is handling the COVID-19 pandemic fairly and responsibly

Cons

- Work-life balance is nonexistent. The workload is overwhelming and teammates are often burned out (we often work nights & weekends on top of a 40 hour work week). - High-stress and often unrealistic expectations. I've often had to sign in and work during CTO in order to put out fires with my projects

Disjointed Leadership

Associate director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary was competitive and in general the employees at my level were helpful, welcoming, and professional.

Cons

Leadership across offices seemed to be inconsistent and disjointed. The practice I was in was scattered, lacked vision, and the many of the employees in this group didn't have the requisite skills for what the practice was offering to clients. Suggestions for change were ignored and dismissed.
