Thank you for your feedback! We recently announced to US employees that we are looking at the 401(k), so stay tuned! On consistency across locations, our RMDs and HR Leaders review promotions, compensation, and bonuses across the offices within a region to ensure fairness and consistency. Then, I review the regions' recommendations with Solution Leaders, the Executive Team, and with our CEO to promote consistency across the country. I would also encourage those who feel "stuck" to raise the issue ASAP so that we can work with them to address it. Dialogue around work experiences and career interests is the goal of the career checkpoint discussions with your Advisor. I assure you that we will keep listening and making adjustments so that we are fine tuning our organization and the Protiviti experience.

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)

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).
