Pros

1) I have had great experiences with the consultant - manager levels. Genuine people who try their best to do the right thing.

Cons

1) Salary is a joke - I have spoken to my Career Advisor and Executive Advisor regarding this multiple times. They are unable to articulate where I fall within the salary band and flat out told me they were no allowed to share the range with me. All they can say is that I am within the salary range of my position which is not helpful. Different solutions do the same work yet the pay is drastically different. 2) Promotions are skewed toward individuals who suck up to MD's. Advancement isn't based on performance rather on who you know. 3) Staffing is done behind the scenes and you have no control over what project you are staffed on for the entire year. 4) Deceptive on the nature of the work that we do. We focus on internal audit we are not a true consulting firm!

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that we are not living up to your expectations. I would encourage you to highlight your concerns on salary and staffing to your HR lead as well. We are as transparent as possible in recruiting and strive to hire the right people both skilled and interested in the work we do. We share the stories from our people and then ask that candidates meet as many people as possible to hear their individual stories as well. That way they can hear both what our strategy is in each of the areas as well as what are people are doing. I am happy to also offer my support if there areas that you would like to discuss where you feel we can be more transparent. We wish you the best as you continue your career with Protiviti!

Pros

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)
