Terrible pay, brutal workloads, and awful managers. I regret working here...

Pros

Nothing. There really isn't any reason why anyone should work here over other companies.

Cons

I regret applying for a position at Guidehouse. I thought working here would be a great opportunity, but all I got instead was an opportunity to experience overwhelming workloads, terrible salaries, and toxic managers. Definitely steer clear of this place.
