Pros

• The company has an abundance of opportunity available allowing those who are presently employed to be promoted even quicker. • The salary and benefits are competitive with other consulting firms. • The PwC split helps Guidehouse be more independent and pursue business in an unlimited area. • There are a diverse group of professional people who have knowledge in all areas that add value to the various engagements. • Micromanagement is low considering my previous career with a former company which demonstrates Guidehouse has confidence in their associates to get the job done and satisfy the client.

Kontras

• The IT infrastructure is cloud based and is very slow causing associates to be frustrated when deliverables are due. Most of the time is spent waiting on the cloud to operate. It continues spins and crashes. My biggest frustration of all considerations… • Although it is wonderful that Guidehouse is growing exponentially with staff, it is frustrating that the space we have available is limited and more people continue to join causing issues when government offices are closed and everyone has to pack in the Guidehouse office location. No seating available. • Communication seems to be an issue when it comes to your role and responsibility. You are pretty much left to figure things out for yourself. • The hiring process for referrals appears to take a long time. I referred someone who had to continuously reach out to the recruiter for updates. The recruiter was not responsive the majority of the time and still there is no solid answer.

Kontras

The Senior Consultant role feels significantly undercompensated for the level of responsibility expected. SCs are expected to own delivery, lead workstreams, write business development proposals, mentor junior staff, manage clients, and often keep engagements running - if not multiple if you are trying to promote which isn't guaranteed at all. However, the recognition and compensation don't reflect that level of ownership. Bonuses were eliminated, yet the workload remained the same (or increased). Leadership communicated that this would be offset by above industry standard raises and an additional salary increase, but the process lacked transparency. Even my people manager couldn't clearly explain what my raise would be or how it was determined. The utilization target of 91% for Senior Consultants is also extremely difficult to sustain while simultaneously contributing to internal initiatives, business development, and other non-billable expectations. Those competing priorities often result in long hours. With MC's, AD's, and D's asking saying this should only take you an hour or two - which isn't truthful at all. One of the most frustrating experiences was helping win contracts. While I'm proud of the team's accomplishments to get there, there was no financial recognition for the individuals who invested significant time into winning the work. It creates the feeling that Senior Consultants do much of the heavy lifting while higher levels receive most of the recognition and incentive compensation. They talk about a spot bonus of up to 10k, but no one believes it's real. Why would we trust at this point? The lack of transparency around compensation, career progression, and performance rewards is beginning to drive away talented people.
