Protiviti is currently conducting a huge firing spree. So far have let go close to 200 personnel. This was mostly created due to a hiring initiative that overestimated the amount of available projects that protiviti would have on their books. Management has shut down concerns of numerous employees under senior status, and have even placed employees in the wrong function based on outdated staffing methodologies. If you want to make it big in protivi do not come in as a consultant 1 or 2 and be ready to play politics.
