Pros

Interesting projects, good coworkers, opportunities for professional development.

Cons

Since they got acquired by Bain they have been cutting down on benefits, and they do not staff people according to their skills or interests. Guidehouse does not care about employees at all, managers are overworked and bark at their colleagues because they are so stressed out and there is no bottom-up review system so they can get away with it. No work-life balance, and no significant bonus or promotions. The CEO is very political in his emails with no regard to minorities whatsoever.

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.
