Pros

I enjoyed my time at guidehouse, however did not enjoy my particular project or immediate manager which is why I left. Decent pay although a bit under standard, good benefit.

Cons

Unlimited PTO means it's not really your PTO and only if approved. Studies have shown most people use less PTO when unlimited, and if you quit you don't get anything paid out. Projects were tough at times due to collaboration and time differences, since it is a global company. Would do work on project that would be undone by people across the globe.

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.
