Pros

Great place to start out of college. Reasonable hours depending on the project Protiviti was mostly willing to keep me local High exposure to director level and above individuals at client sites High growth potential

Cons

High turnover in the office The vast majority of the office will do SOX consulting. 2+ years there, and I spent maybe three weeks doing something non-sox At times a lot of travel for 4+ weeks in a row Seattle has a high cost of living, and Seattle is grouped into one of Protiviti's cheap markets for some reason

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.
