Vantaggi

Relocation opportunities, cool people that you work with.

Svantaggi

Don't pay high enough for the work you do. You have to drive A LOT, prepare to be in traffic sometimes 4 hours a day because the clients aren't in San Francisco. You aren't a consultant, you most likely are just going to work on SOX Audits

Thank you for taking the time to post this review. I am pleased to read that you enjoyed working with the team in the Bay Area. I agree there are fantastic opportunities to relocate domestically and even internationally, both on a temporary and permanent basis. I am however sorry to read that you felt under remunerated for the work you did. Protiviti partners with a global consulting organization to ensure that we are aligned with our competitors at local market levels, for each of our career levels and solution offerings. For Consultants who join the Company from campus, we also collect and receive a lot of data through the campus hiring process. What is certainly true is that the market in the Bay Area is 'hot' and moving constantly. We are confident that our 'offer' (taking into account the total compensation package offered), is very competitive in the market for similar positions. This equally applies to experienced level positions. As a Bay Area practice, we do support clients across the Bay Area. This includes San Francisco, South Bay, East Bay and North Bay clients. We aim to provide a clear and consistent message regarding the location of our clients during the hiring process. We also have an office in San Jose to support the South Bay clients. Our intention is to do the best we can to limit individual commute times, through our resource management processes. I also acknowledge your comment regarding the nature of work. In the Bay Area, we have a good diversity of work across our technology, risk and internal audit services. This includes SOX work, which maybe higher than other markets given the IPO activity in the Bay Area. Our aim to provide every Consultant who joins the Bay Area team with exciting and challenging work experiences that provide them with the skills necessary to be a successful consultant as they build their career long term in Protiviti.

Vantaggi

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Svantaggi

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
