OUR HYBRID WORKPLACE

Protiviti practices a hybrid model, which is a combination of working in person with a purpose and working remotely. This model creates meaningful experiences for our people and our clients while offering a flexible environment. The ratio of remote to in-person requirements vary by client, project, team, and other business factors. Our people work both in-person in local Protiviti offices and on client sites, which can include local or out-of-state travel based on our projects and client requests and commitments. Interns do not accrue company paid time off (Choice Time Off), and we expect that interns will be available to complete work in the designated location during business hours for the entire duration of the Internship.
