Consultants are used and abused, not developed

Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation range for junior consultants

Cons

One of the most toxic work environments I've been in. Work-life balance is horrible. Expect to be constantly on call, including weekends, holidays, etc. For the last 6 months, the average working hours are 80-100/week, so kiss goodbye to everything you do outside of work. There is absolutely no life, and this company doesn't care about you.

Pros

Guidehouse was recently purchased by Bain Capital and we can see an immediate change, where Bain Capital is interested in how we do things. They particularly care about the employee experience with an emphasis on learning and development. We are working on the maturity of our company where we want to go public. There are challenges, but it is an exciting time to be at Guidehouse.

Cons

We had some down-sizing that were a necessary evil and we could have been more transparent as a company. There were people unhappy with the changes; change management is not easy.
