Solid Company With Good Values

Senior consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
