      Pros

      - People are generally nice, collaborative, smart, and hardworking. - Guidehouse provides healthcare and offer 401k matching. 401k has no vesting period. - Work can be interesting but very dependent on your project. - Nice in-office activities and many projects are remote flexible. - Opportunities for growth and continued learning. - Work / life balance is project and role dependent but can be very balanced

      Cons

      - Structurally removed bonuses for senior consultants and below. Pay is below Big 4. - Little effort to build culture. Less and less effort spent on after hours activities each year. Minimal happy hours and lots of red tape around spending money and planning events. - Multiple rounds of layoffs. - Questionable spending decisions including a sponsorship with DC United. - Private equity ownership has led to decreasing benefits and increasing expectations. - Employment security is a major concern. The staffing model has shifted to keep a very lean bench. Fire fast, hire fast. This makes the messaging from leadership feel superficial and creates a toxic environment between management and employees.
