The first introduction was a phone call with recruiter. The second round is a 30 minute behavioral and a 30 minute technical interview. Overall, it was very well done, and I think I learned a lot about the firm overall.

Question 1
Why I wanted to work at Protiviti over other firms
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Protiviti (New York, NY) in Sept 2025

Very friendly and helpful interviewers willing to help you out a little if you’re stuck during the case interview portion. For behavioral, typical STAR method but still a challenging process regardless.

Interview
One interview and case study
Case study took well over 5-6 hours of unpaid work if you were to do it detail. Requested JD on 3 occasions from HR, was eventually given vague high level description. It is completely unclear what they want, you would need project management and scoping skills, also detailed solution architecture and hands on coding skills. The coding exercise would take 2 hours on its own. The role requested 3 years experience.
Questions were basic and didn't enquire about candidate experience, many MCQ one line response questions.
Interviewer was unable to tell me sir the role, the practice or company. Was unwilling to share details of his own experience within the company, or types of projects.
