OK place to start consulting career

Senior consultant, technology consulting

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- If you come in with true consulting experience, you can easily shine as a star - Work/life balance - Good primer for working at a real consulting firm

Cons

- Salaries are ~20-30% less than competitors - 2-4 years behind where competitors are at with new solution offerings and "Innovation" - Technology Consulting offering lacks identity. Protiviti is known for being an Internal Audit firm, with that, building out a Technology Consulting practice felt like it lacked its claim to fame. Most Technology projects are a result of some sort of audit project, are audit in nature, or are very implementation focused. - Will often get staffed on projects outside of your domain to avoid bench time

Great Place to start your career path, but not to make a long-term career

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly senior management, opportunity for mentorship. Healthy workplace and great co-workers.

Cons

Once you are aligned with a project or project type, often times that is now your career path and specialization going forward. Long hours for lower level positions to ensure that projects fall within budget at a lower cost. Average week was 85+ hours but heard of others working far less (bonus was beyond insubstantial for the amount of overtime)

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you were not able to work on the types of projects that were of interest to you over time. We launched our new Foundations program this year which strives to give our consultants varied experiences through their first two years with us, prior to specializing. We wish you the best and hope that you will keep in touch!
