Pros

Protiviti is a great company to start your career with. With their internship, you aren't treated simply as an intern; you're given the opportunity to act as a consultant for the duration of the program. You begin the internship by going to The Intern Challenge which is a 10 day training program focusing on the fundamental skills involved in consulting. The experience really prepared me for the internship, and many of the skills I learned will carry over to my full-time career. Throughout the internship, I have been given the opportunity to work on projects that have a direct impact on the client. As opposed to other internship programs, I am never assigned "busy work."

Cons

I do not have any negative comments. The only thing I can think of is that hours may be longer than a typical internship (sometimes 8 am to after 6 pm) simply because of travel time to clients or heavy workload.

I am pleased you are having a wonderful summer thus far! I hope it continues throughout the duration of the summer. With regards to the long hours on client work and travel time, hopefully that means you are gaining valuable real work experience. If you ever feel it is too much I encourage you to discuss it with your project team or Intern Lead, so someone can help to manage your project load.

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

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.
