Plethora of opportunities, if you know where to look. Navigating their infrastructure can be maddening.
Pros
_Competitive Salaries (negotiate upon hiring, raises are not good). _Guidehouse has a lot of opportunities for growth. _Paid training. _Discretionary Time Off & Sick Leave _On my particular contract, the contract manager is very good.
Cons
_While they promote work / life balance, the added work over and above your job is a bit much at times. _Their corporate tools are spread across a multitude of platforms. It's an exercise in frustration each time they push required training. If you fall onto a federal contract, you will have that frustration doubled, since you will also need to know which logon to use, and when. _Accessing corporate email is an exercise in frustration. If you are lucky enough to be given a corporate laptop, this won't be an issue... for the rest, be prepared to have corporate ask to install their managed software on your personal devices. _Some of the required training feels as though its busy work for the side of the company that is waiting on their next task.
