Sloppy Employee Organization - Senior Consultant Protiviti Employee Review

1. ) Work harder not smarter culture: The number one priority of every billable consultant (including managers) in this company is to complete their work on time for the client no matter what the cost. As mentioned there is overtime for this but there is an expectation to complete the work or else it will negatively affect your performance reviews. In one instance, a manager, without asking me but instead emailed my then entire team, told me to work weekends in order to catch up and finish work even after splitting up work. 2.) Lack of structured employee support: Given what was mentioned before, everyone is focused on finishing their own work. On the occasions I asked for support from managers it led to blaming, arguing, dragging on, or getting off topic. Several conflicting messages were told to me from managers including: “why do you need hand holding?” and “Just get it done.” On top of this, in order to obtain billable work, you are told to network with your coworkers while someone from staffing tries to find you a client. I did not see any type of tool or portal where you can search then apply for clients to work for within the company. 3.) Subjective Reviews & Feedback: Client work mistakes are harshly penalized and you can be graded based on your local office attendance and participation. If you get even below average reviews your position is on the line. Feedback was delivered critically to me and others from my own managers on several occasions.
