Protiviti reviews

-Work is extremely boring and repetitive. -Work is easy and non-challenging. -You do not learn anything from this job. -No skills will be learned that will be useful in another job, unless wanting to be in internal audit. -Incentive programs are not very good, bonuses are low. -Most work relating to SOX Testing. -You may have little influence as to what/ where your assignments may be. -Most people select their jobs based on the people, but this is an exception. No matter how great the people here are the work will make you miserable because it is so slow and boring.

Once the first year honeymoon period is over here is what you have to look forward to: - No input into your schedule or career future. Even if you've expressed dissatisfaction with particular types of project you will still be staffed if there is a need causing employees to be pigeonholed and ultimately unhappy. - Seems as if management is chasing only sales credit. Even awful projects with low revenue will be sold which benefit neither the client or company. Since at a certain level management is measured on how much they can sell there is really no other concern but $$. - Zero regard for the "best employees" cornerstone. If a client wants something you must drop everything to meet their needs. Often managers do not have a backbone to push back on clients when expectations are unrealistic or may impact employees. - Protiviti is essentially an internal audit firm attempting to be a consulting firm. While the leadership team continuously talks about growing Risk and Compliance and IT Consulting most projects seem to be IA focused and the executive team is made up of tons of former auditors. - Consultants are told not to "eat hours" (work them and not charge them in) however when the budget is tight this happens all of the time. Consultant bonuses are based off of how many hours are worked and not charging them can reduce end of year bonuses. - A 401k matching program exists however the matching portion of the program is not paid until December 31st meaning no interest or no match if an employee leaves before December.
