Protiviti reviews

Compensation is very under market, 401k match doesn't vest for three years and isn't paid out until the end of the year. The work is not very challenging. Everything revolves around the mind numbing internal audit, even if you are not in that solution. Entry level new hires: if you want management consulting experience, look elsewhere, or at least specify that you want to go into Business Process Improvement.

Although they like to brand their practice to also include consulting, it's really more like an internal audit firm. Often campus hires are tagged as part of the technology consulting practice, but mostly were staffed on internal audit/SOX projects; mostly because there's not always enough consulting projects to go around. I'll give them credit for trying to expand their practice by adding true consulting lines of service, however they don't seem to have the background and experience to execute those types of projects. Many times they have a "we'll figure it out when we get there" attitude. People are then thrown into these projects and expected to execute the work with little to no guidance, and when it fails management accepts no responsibility. Essentially there's a mismatch between what they tell clients they can execute, and the needed knowledge and resources' ability to perform these projects.
