Beware if you are operations

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They will contribute to your HSA. You might get a totally discretionary bonus at the end of the year.

Cons

If you are anywhere below a specialist in operations, be prepared to be shoved to the side at every turn. You will not receive any raise with the exception of cost of living adjustment. You will not have any opportunity to voice an opinion about anything. You will not be allowed to participate in the Ops incentive bonus. You will get to spend your entire day helping everyone else achieve their career goals, meet their ICP projections, participate in learning and development and never once will it be presented to you. I have never been offered any form of development. It is May and I have yet to have had any form of review. There is no incentive. We are constantly hearing about "best people and culture"...no if you are operations.

Good culture, bad projects

Risk and compliance consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

As a small, private company you get to move up quickly. Work life balance is great, pay is in range with other consulting firms.

Cons

As a less well known company, it's harder to score big or interesting projects. Those projects usually go to a Big 4 Advisory or Big 3 Consulting, or even just more well known consulting firms. The recent graduates are from average universities, and overall the office is complacent with where they are within the firm.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Had I been aware of this feedback while you were still with the firm, I would have encouraged you to get involved in your local office as we have committees where we provide opportunities for you to get involved and make a difference. I would also have encouraged you to reach out to your Resource Management contact and your career advisor to get a better understanding of the diversity of projects Protiviti offers. We are always looking for ways to innovate and improve as we work towards becoming a Premier Risk Consulting firm. We are continuing to grow and shape our organization’s future, and I look forward to the contributions that our people at all levels make towards that effort. Best of luck in your future endeavors and thank you again for providing this insight.
