Pros

Diversity and inclusion is the strongest feature of Guidehouse, in addition to a friendly atmosphere amongst coworkers.

Cons

The management is immature making it difficult to trust their decisions and leading to a high turnover rate. Workers are often asked to put in extra 10 hours weekly over several consecutive months, including the holiday season. Meanwhile, workers are given a workload that needs more than 50 hours a week, and management has no problem telling you to work even more than 50 hours if required. All of this comes with a sever misunderstanding of incentives, and how you can get the best out of people by providing the correct incentive. Rather, management uses cheerful talk, emotional validation, and other methods that create an unhealthy competitive environment amongst colleagues, as many begin to feel under-appreciated and burned out in a relatively short time.

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.
