Protiviti Reviews

Always encourage volunteering and giving back to the community

This is what sets Protiviti apart. Protiviti has a strong culture of being supportive, flexible, and a fun place to work. This tone is set from the top. The management structure is relatively flat and non-hierarchical. Work is done in a collaborative and team-focused way. There are plenty of social events through the social club and also informal events such as after-work drinks etc.

The firm is very diverse as they aim for at least 40% women in director roles. They have a DEI community and RAP which shows Protiviti supports members of ethnic minorities and LGBTIQA+ communities.

As a consultant, my main roles and responsibilities involve supporting the managers and MDs with the project. This involves things such as note-taking during meetings, providing input in internal meetings, engaging in fieldwork and document reviews, and overall learning the processes and methodologies of the project/stakeholder. Other day-to-day responsibilities also include admin work for the project, such as scheduling meetings or requesting information from the client.

Managers are really supportive and approachable. Feedback is structured through an online system that allows you to request formal feedback on projects. Good work is recognized in internal meetings regularly.

Great location, nice space and good views. Not super fancy but it meets all our needs. Dress code is business casual for the office and changes according to client requirements if you are meeting with clients.

As a grad, the hiring process was really quick and supportive. There was a lot of communication from the recruitment team and expectations were set early. After receiving the offer, HR was very easy to communicate with and very responsive too

As a graduate consultant, the pay is about the middle of the road for consulting salaries. but work-life balance is much better than other firms.

Formal training is great! There are many opportunities provided to us. However, not having a consistent manager slows down the process for improvement. I highly recommend having allocated managers for perhaps a 6-month period rotation, where you are only on their engagements where possible. Advisors can only help so far. Boots on the ground to support the learning and development is much better. If a manager knows they will have this person for an extended period, then they will be more inclined to invest in the employee's development as opposed to palm them off to the next manager and hope someone else puts in the time to train them

Protiviti is completely flexible in terms of where you work. Teams have "anchor days" where the team or solution's managing directors are generally in the office which are encouraged in-office days. But you have near complete flexibility unless a client project requires you to be on-site.

Sustainability is specified as an organisational strategic goal in a 5 year roadmap. Specific milestones and criteria are defined and communicated This includes an ESG club and ESG as a key engagement component
