      Good culture, bad projects - Risk and Compliance Consultant Protiviti Employee Review

      Pros

      As a small, private company you get to move up quickly. Work life balance is great, pay is in range with other consulting firms.

      Cons

      As a less well known company, it's harder to score big or interesting projects. Those projects usually go to a Big 4 Advisory or Big 3 Consulting, or even just more well known consulting firms. The recent graduates are from average universities, and overall the office is complacent with where they are within the firm.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Had I been aware of this feedback while you were still with the firm, I would have encouraged you to get involved in your local office as we have committees where we provide opportunities for you to get involved and make a difference. I would also have encouraged you to reach out to your Resource Management contact and your career advisor to get a better understanding of the diversity of projects Protiviti offers. We are always looking for ways to innovate and improve as we work towards becoming a Premier Risk Consulting firm. We are continuing to grow and shape our organization’s future, and I look forward to the contributions that our people at all levels make towards that effort. Best of luck in your future endeavors and thank you again for providing this insight.

      Pros

      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).
