Pros
Protiviti caters to young, ambitious business professionals right out of college that are looking to get their feet wet in the real world. They offer a relatively competitive salary and benefits package that will certainly draw your attention. As a consultant, you'll work directly at the client site and perform a variety of different tasks in various forms depending on the engagement type and line of business. Overall, you'll develop a broad understanding of each business process as it relates to accounting/finance.
Cons
- Work life balance: doesn't exist. Your engagement manager's will often work you long into the evening - No OT: Quite simple- we aren't paid for the extra hours of work we put in - Promotions: they promote on a calendar basis with little to no respect to your work ethic - Project teams: Protiviti promotes a team based structure, however, you'll oftentimes be stuck working at the client site by yourself on loan staffed projects - Upward feedback: Absolute lack of upward feedback channels and acknowledgment of lower management "work horses" - Turnover: Protiviti will work you until you are unable to tolerate it any longer
