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)

Thanks so much for sharing this. Feeling less connected in a hybrid environment is a very real experience, and we appreciate you calling that out. At Protiviti, hybrid work is the context we operate in, but connection and collaboration are still a priority. We encourage teams to be intentional about how and where they work - whether that’s time in the office, client interactions, or coming together for team and networking opportunities. From Employee Network Groups to local office events and project team collaboration, there are a number of ways to build connection, and your advisor or team leaders can help identify what that looks like for you. We’re always continuing to learn and evolve how we create meaningful connection across our teams, and your feedback helps us do that. Thank you!

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).
