Pluspunten

- 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

Minpunten

- 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.

Pluspunten

The only pro that occurs to me is that there were a handful for legacy PWC FTE’s on board, many being leadership. However, there was no meaningful or obvious benefit to having them on board that one would imagine there might be.

Minpunten

-Poor leadership and management. -Poor communication from management. -Unprofessional and hostile work environments. -Passive aggressive leadership, gaslighting staffers that are overwhelmed. -Leadership side bar conversations about how certain employees are incompetent. -Poor budgeting and project forecasting. -Leadership creates false safe space then leverages knowledge against staffers. -Toxic environment. -Career opportunities aren’t nearly as open as leadership advertises. Expect to be siloed to the engagement/ team.
