Guidehouse reviews

Pay raise? Depends on how much work you do for GH, not on the actual contract. This is not like most government consulting jobs. They want you to work 40hrs for GH clients. Most likely it will be more because the contract is terrible. But after that, plan to work for GH, ie write proposals or volunteer to work on some other project. Unlimited PTO? Nope. Unless you work way over your 40hrs, it will count against your utilization. Oh that counts against your bonus as well. -PMs will NOT advocate for you. If you have valid concerns about being burnt out or having terrible management, they will turn a blind eye. Even add more work to your plate to keep the client "happy." High turnover rate. You would think if one team has gone through several employees in less than a year, they would investigate, perform and take exit interviews seriously. They do not. Management could be the root cause, they don't care and will keep the problematic person. Oh and if you enjoy the team/project you were working on and doing great work, they will move you to a different team because it's falling apart and they want you to lose your mind trying to save it.

Toxic culture, unclear promotion framework, massively lacking benefits (when compared to competitors), absent leadership (particularly during civil/social/economic/cultural crises), limited range of work opportunities (all finance, no mission), and horrible internal services/infrastructure.
