The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Protiviti in Mar 2012
Interview
Overall I was not that impressed with Protiviti. Like others have said, the questions were very general behavioral questions. I would recommend being prepared with examples to talk about for specific questions during the interview. Go through Glassdoor and have examples for the questions you see posted and find a list of the top 10 or top 20 questions asked during an interview and have examples for those as well.
A negative aspect was definitely the communication. The recruiter seemed to always wait until the last minute to get in touch scheduling and did not follow up afterwords as they said they would. Also, I was not given time to ask questions at the end of the interview which is usually a courtesy that is given to an interviewee so they can get a better idea some things that they may not be able to find elsewhere.

Question 1
Tell me about a time that you had to work on a team.
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Protiviti (New York, NY)
Interview
Started off with campus recruiting - case study which wasn't too hard but wasn't a walk in the park either, and also a behavioral interview as well. Then second round in the office there were 2 interviews. Both were just casual conversations so they could get to know you. Some random behavioral questions were thrown in, but they were more integrated into the conversation so they weren't stressful. Then there is a group presentation you give.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Protiviti (New York, NY) in June 2014
Interview
The interview process was very selective and engaging. They were actively interested in our educational endeavors along with our personal lives. Partitive does a great job at identifying top talent and personality. You will notice that everyone at Protiviti is very easy to talk to and get along with. It is amazing, and the culture is great here. Protiviti has several recruiting initiatives and spends a vast amount of resources recruiting talent.
