Pros

The individuals in my work group

Cons

Big corporate atmosphere, primarily concerned with profits, utilization and buzz words. Not at all concerned with individuals. Guidehouse does not offer the standard life insurance benefit of even 1 times your salary. This is an added expense for the employee. They love to say you can add additional benefits for the cost of a Starbucks, but for those who don't get Starbucks because it is too expensive that seems insulting.

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
