low pay, bad management, contract role, don’t care about anything except hitting numbers, constant changing-no stability, can fire you whenever they feel like it, boring

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad you found the environment and people to be positive. We're sorry to hear about your concerns regarding compensation, stability, and the contractor experience. We recognize the importance of fair treatment and transparency, and we appreciate your honest feedback. It helps us identify areas where we need to improve and create a better experience for all team members.
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).
