Staff Augmentation Company, not Consulting - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Protiviti

Protiviti is very weak in anything other than compliance, audit or risk. Regardless of solution or technical skills, resources are often put on projects in these fields even when they are irrelevant to expertise. Many projects are simply staff augmentation and consist of menial work that requires no actual hard skills. On projects like these the only value add will be completing huge amounts of menial work, project management, working long hours, showing up to very early or late meetings etc...Moreover, many of these projects are big and therefore considered important to management and yet for the people working them they offer zero opportunity for knowledge or career development. Many employees are working very hard on laborious projects that ultimately can’t contribute to marketable skills for their future goals. People who are hired for specific specialties/roles end up doing work that could really be done by offshore resources via Robert Half. It can be very difficult to develop technical or SME knowledge at Protiviti. There are worthwhile projects but they are few and far between. Be very very very careful coming here unless your only goal is to be selling work as an MD. Protiviti is not for someone trying to develop technical/specialty/SME expertise due to the inconsistency of true consulting projects.
