Pros
Nice people. Nice salary. That's about it. Otherwise, Guidehouse is literally on fire with a circus act in its Human Capital Department. As others have mentioned, ask many questions before you join...can't stress this enough. If it feels like you're being hit with a sales pitch, you are. The company is going to sell in 3 -5 years anyway, since its under a VC firm. Keep all of that in mind.
Cons
-TERRIBLE Projects. You are told one thing before you get on board, and then you finally join the team and you see that the work you're doing is the type of work to make you go backwards professionally. - Shady directors who only care about the bottom line and not your professional development. You are just a tool for billing and revenue. Even if you're a professional with 15 years of leadership and management experience, they'll have you on a project doing "calendar management." - W/L Balance? What's that? They claim to offer that, but again lies. Once you get on board thats not the case. (However, I put my foot down and draw the line. I will not exhaust myself just to make someone else rich.) -No flexibility, no teleworking on a lot of client projects...beware. Only on an as-needed basis. How archaic. Get with the times. - Retirement package is BELOW average - Lowest PTO offering in the industry - Utilization pushers, even though before I came on board I was told that wouldn't be the case. - If you're a person that has true aspirations, you won't last long. You will see very quickly that this place isn't what you thought you signed up for. Its a waste of your time and energy. -Non meaningful work-- but thats public sector for you. - Disengaged managers. - Everyone I know is looking to LEAVE THE COMPANY.
