Pros

Good exposure to a wide variety of projects, industries, managers, etc. Pay is fair, traveling can be good at times depending on location.

Cons

Very cliquey atmosphere (managers favor by school you attended), more than advertised travel (sometimes leaving on Sunday afternoons and returning on Friday evenings), lots of extra work for when you return to your hotel, nobody really keeps an eye on you and your career progression you basically have to jump up and down asking to be considered for promotions and hope you went to the right school...

Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback. I’m sorry that you left Protiviti feeling as though your needs were not met. I would have encouraged you to speak to Resource Management and your Career and Executive Advisor about both of these matters. This advisor team can be your strongest advocates in ensuring you are getting the career opportunities that you want. Additionally, our Resource Management team is constantly working to ensure our clients are matched with the right talent at Protiviti. Best of luck in your next chapter, and again thank you for the feedback.

Hated working here

Pros

A few nice co workers.. Free coffee. That's honestly all I can think of to say that is good about working here.

Cons

Not a good work environment at all. Way too competitive, no perks, horrible management. It's such a hostile environment, leaving you feeling uncomfortable all day long. Very hard to communicate with bosses/co workers. Everyone is so robotic and it's awkward because no one talks to each other. So glad to be out of there!

It's all about the Sale, Delivery is Secondary

Pros

I worked with some very knowledgeable individuals picked up a few things from them. If you are into travel the clients that you may work on can be global.

Cons

The MD's at the smaller regional offices lack any backbone. Virtually no autonomy is given to those offices, rather everything must be approved from the main office in the region. The entire focus is on making new sales while ignoring your existing client base. Protiviti takes their existing clients for granted while chasing the next big sale. Delivery of the project suffers as you have management constantly chasing sales while you have junior consultants attempting to execute work programs in which they have no experience.
