Pros

Good exposure to a wide variety of projects, industries, managers, etc. Pay is fair, traveling can be good at times depending on location.

Cons

Very cliquey atmosphere (managers favor by school you attended), more than advertised travel (sometimes leaving on Sunday afternoons and returning on Friday evenings), lots of extra work for when you return to your hotel, nobody really keeps an eye on you and your career progression you basically have to jump up and down asking to be considered for promotions and hope you went to the right school...

Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback. I’m sorry that you left Protiviti feeling as though your needs were not met. I would have encouraged you to speak to Resource Management and your Career and Executive Advisor about both of these matters. This advisor team can be your strongest advocates in ensuring you are getting the career opportunities that you want. Additionally, our Resource Management team is constantly working to ensure our clients are matched with the right talent at Protiviti. Best of luck in your next chapter, and again thank you for the feedback.

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).
