*The majority of the cons below are out of Guidehouse's control and are subject to the client/project and the consulting industry.*
+ As with any consulting job, work flow can be very unpredictable. You're very much at the mercy of how much work the client has to give you and this is usually dictated by government bureaucracy.
+ On paper, the Navigant acquisition is generally positive for Guidehouse. However, Guidehouse adopted many of Navigants business processes, operations and benefits, resulting in a lot of changes/disruptions for Guidehouse employees.
+ Similar to the first point, you'll find that working on public sector projects can often times be frustrating. Clients can often get lost in the problem rather than working towards a solution. Similarly, a lack of forward momentum can result in sudden changes in direction, meaning hours of work you've completed can become irrelevant.
+ Sometimes it can feel like top management and everyone else are working for two different companies. Leaders have very ambitious plans for Guidehouse and seem to view the company from a distance. However, if you talk to lower level/in the weeds employees you'll notice that many find the goal of rapid growth is more of an imagine for Guidehouse rather than providing any tangible benefits.
