Pros

Very talented employees and supports an array of meaningful engagements.

Cons

- Some of the most entitled people I have ever met, and extremely demeaning of people and their backgrounds. Many comments about peoples appearance and their educational backgrounds. - If you go to a schools that isn't perceived as top tier, please don't apply - There is a work life balance which is work & sleep - Zero development of employees shifting from PwC to Guidehouse was extremely painful. Much of the infrastructure was ripped away and leaving no legacy development programs. - Managers need to realize they are just another consulting firm and the pedigree from PwC is no longer in place. Talent and brand awareness will develop in-time, but there is unrealistic expectations that the organization will attract the same talent that PwC did.

Pros

- Flexibility (hours, work location, communication format) depending on project team - Opportunity for exposure to high-impact, mission-focused projects if aligned with right team/management - Opportunity to get actively involved in business development at early phase in career (whitepapers, proposals)

Cons

- Business appears to operate w/ same mentality of PwC brand, but with a Guidehouse brand that has no brand equity - Milestone rewards for Senior, Manager promotions were effectively removed - Compensation for existing employees materially disparate from market value - Disconnect between what senior mgmt. discusses during all-hands meetings vs. reality of the business - No campus recruiting presence, heavy reliance on headhunter orgs and referrals - Brand new / buggy IT systems create burden when delivering on client work - Unclear communication of Guidehouse business processes that changed as a result of spin-out - Aptitude of new hires is below that of talent recruited w/ PwC - No performance review system -- we create career goals for the year, but no mechanisms implemented to enable period or real-time feedback of my actual day-to-day work - No in-house trainings available - New initiatives at the firm show promise, but everyone is overwhelmed with oversubscription to client work - Folks who were with PwC and endured the transition --- many are leaving
