Relatively small business (in Aus), with the benefits of a large international business. E.g.
- first name basis with Australian leadership team and relatively flat hierarchy.
- leadership invested in your career and development.
- opportunities to move overseas with Protiviti or work on international projects.
Protiviti offers great flexibility in terms of work location and times.
Cons
Consulting is a somewhat demanding profession and you are always accountable for your changeability and KPIs. Protiviti is a relationship based business, so you need to develop your internal network to ensure you're booked on projects.

Good WLB
Great Bosses
Health insurance & benefits are awesome
Very flexible workforce
Easy to climb up in promotions
Cons
Pay is below standard (Although I feel you still get paid decently for the area)
If you're put on a production project, be ready to feel stuck.
Management is very lost on where they want to head into the future. I am worried this company won't last much longer (Former arthur anderson)
Can feel clique-y at times amongst peers (but this is not a problem of the company specifically)
1) Chicago office has a good culture, overall. It’s not perfect but most of the people are great.
2) Work-life balance score has been solid (about 5+ years of insights here)
3) Although it was not great this year, Incentive compensation has overall been pretty good over the course of 5+ years. Much better than big 4 in my experience.
Cons
1) Since 2023, the culture hasn’t been great for a variety of reasons (mainly due to sluggish performance and growing too fast)
2) It feels more like a temporary staffing agency versus a consulting firm for a lot of the time.
3) There has been an awkward push for a return to the office and more business development focus that is in stark contrast to what most Protiviti people value.
4) Most people I talk to say they are not motivated by most of the MDs they interact with (this is significant in my opinion).
