The difference between Protiviti and other firms.

Pros

Work life balance - I have worked for other firms and the difference at Protiviti is clearly the work life balance. The company values the fact that employees have a life outside of work, therefore there is no busy season as you would typically find in an accounting firm that would require 60+ hours. A typical work week at Protiviti is 40-45 hours.

Cons

Fortunately, I can't say that I have come across anything negative. Protiviti is truly a great place to start your career with a variety of different opportunities. The amount of travel will depend on which office you are based out of since some offices have a strong Internal Audit / IT Audit base.

Pros

The company culture is great, everyone knows each and socializes frequently. My supervisors are great people to work for. It is very clear on how get a promotion and/or earn a significant bonus. There is a great deal of flexibility on how to spend your time.

Cons

There is no transparency on how one's base pay is calculated. The type of work is specific to various geographical areas. So if you want to work on something that the company does, then you have to live in the city where that type of work is being sold or become part of a national team that is almost always traveling.

Thank you for commenting on the transparency of our bonus programs and advancement criteria. On the note about base pay ... Earlier this year, we hosted 2 info sessions for all employees that addressed, among other things, "How is my pay determined?" We will host these sessions again this year, so be on alert for them. Also, I appreciate your comments and suggestions on managing our resources.
