It's called Cheaphouse for a reason - Senior Consultant Guidehouse Employee Review

Pros

If you can get on a good project your career can go really far.

Cons

The gaslighting that leadership does in regards to benefits is insulting. I've been at GH since it split from PWC, and every year I've been there, they've cut our benefits. They cut our phone stipend, we don't get any kind of wellness benefits, they switched to unlimited PTO which means you no longer get payed out your unused PTO, the maternity leave is downright atrocious at 6 weeks, and people are leaving in droves, yet leadership acts like they offer the world to employees. Everyone knows they're just trying to keep the ship afloat for the IPO or for us to be sold again.

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
