Svantaggi
- Business appears to operate w/ same mentality of PwC brand, but with a Guidehouse brand that has no brand equity - Milestone rewards for Senior, Manager promotions were effectively removed - Compensation for existing employees materially disparate from market value - Disconnect between what senior mgmt. discusses during all-hands meetings vs. reality of the business - No campus recruiting presence, heavy reliance on headhunter orgs and referrals - Brand new / buggy IT systems create burden when delivering on client work - Unclear communication of Guidehouse business processes that changed as a result of spin-out - Aptitude of new hires is below that of talent recruited w/ PwC - No performance review system -- we create career goals for the year, but no mechanisms implemented to enable period or real-time feedback of my actual day-to-day work - No in-house trainings available - New initiatives at the firm show promise, but everyone is overwhelmed with oversubscription to client work - Folks who were with PwC and endured the transition --- many are leaving
