"First and foremost, Protiviti IS NOT a management consulting firm. Protiviti performs internal audits and does it for companies on the cheap. Think you will be part of Protiviti's new Business Process Improvement (BPI) solution?! No, you will be doing internal audit. Think you will be doing IT consulting? Nope! You will be doing internal audit. Further, having an internal audit mindset permeates the entire Protiviti culture. It is risk averse, reactive and non-entrepreneurial. Protiviti compensation is significantly below its peers across all categories. Salary information from Glassdoor is right on. Protiviti counters that they offer a better work life balance than their peers. As a generality this may be true but Protiviti is still behind the eight ball in the ratio of hours worked vs pay earned. If you are former military, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT come to Protiviti. Nearly every veteran that is hired by Protiviti is gone within two years. Protiviti is not a cultural fit for veterans that have a bias for action, initiative and ambition. Further, there is a complete mismatch in skillsets and worldview. Veterans skillsets are not understood and because of this, their abilities are under-utilized. Protiviti's culture is one that embraces mediocrity. When Protiviti talks about work life balance, what they really mean is that they embrace non-ambitious and complacent people. Ambitious employees are often looked at with scorn and not rewarded with promotion or monetary increases. Protiviti is not a place for individuals who want to fast track themselves. It is also not a place that knows how to handle disagreements or conflict. Employees are heavily discouraged from any disagreement or deviation. From top to bottom, Protiviti is a systemically flawed organization. Do not spend the prime years of your working life wasting away at this organization."

"I have only worked for the company for 3 months but am not happy at all. I am confused on why and how this has made so many top companies to work for lists. It may just be my team but it is completely micro managed and ALL over the place. I really can't do it anymore, unfortunately."

What do you like about working at Protiviti?

"I like the professional environment and structured work atmosphere. The office is extremely formal, though."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be prepared to answer tough questions, and do not be shy!"

What don't you like about working at Protiviti?

"Compensation is subpar and you do not have the autonomy that other companies offer. Working from home is frowned upon and management heavily favors those who have more visible hours in the office."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would create a more informal management relationship, so you can get to know your superiors without the looming chain of command."

What do you like about working at Protiviti?

"I like the work flexibility and the management team is very good."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Pay attention to gaining a wide understanding of economics and industries"

What don't you like about working at Protiviti?

"ProtivitI doesnt allow me to work a wide range of clients"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would expand and improve the client base we currently service."

"It's a good company to work in, but there are some areas they really need to pick up."

"Great company to begin a career, but limited elevated positions to grow past mid-senior level."

"I have had no issues to this point, would like tohave seen a little more communication regarding how the Government shut down will affect me, beyond that, seems good."

"I've interned at Protiviti after junior year in college and came back full time in Internal Audit Financial Advisory Practice. The company is very young and flexible to keep the employees happy! It's definitely a great company to launch a career!"

"Protiviti is a great company to work for if you are looking for experience and variety in work. It is a growing company and one can expect to grow with it."
