Pros

-The only truly good reason to work here is the people. Most of the people here are really nice and helpful. -Do not work much overtime.

Cons

-Work is extremely boring and repetitive. -Work is easy and non-challenging. -You do not learn anything from this job. -No skills will be learned that will be useful in another job, unless wanting to be in internal audit. -Incentive programs are not very good, bonuses are low. -Most work relating to SOX Testing. -You may have little influence as to what/ where your assignments may be. -Most people select their jobs based on the people, but this is an exception. No matter how great the people here are the work will make you miserable because it is so slow and boring.

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you are enjoying the people you are working with and that you find Protiviti’s work/life blend to be positive. In regards to your project work, I would encourage you to reach out to your advisor network and resource management team. If there is a particular type of work that you are interested in or specific skills you would like to grow, those two resources can help you explore those opportunities. We also offer several local trainings on our solution offerings. I would suggest reaching out to your respective solution leadership with your concerns. Our promises to our people are a key component of our strategy. These promises include providing Exceptional Development Opportunities, so we’d like to make sure that promise is being met. Again, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

Pros

Great work life balance (depending on client, however I always had a good experience). Good company match, typical time off.

Could get stuck on a busy client for extended period.

Thanks for sharing your experience—we’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with work-life balance here and our people-first culture. We also appreciate your feedback on project duration and mobility. Our work is driven by client needs, which can sometimes mean longer engagements, but we remain committed to growth and development, expanding opportunities for employees to dive into interests and explore innovative paths through their work.

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).
