Vantaggi

If you are a working mom in a Director position, you can definitely get away with 'pretending to work' (telling your team that you are "teleworking," when essentially you are at home running personal errands), and then blaming your team when work isn't done. No accountability!

Svantaggi

Don't fall for the "hours over standard" scam. It's essentially Guidehouse's way of getting free labor out of their employees. When negotiating a salary, make sure you account for the hours you will work after meeting your client utilization hours each day. You will be DEFINITELY working weekends, supporting proposals and other business development tasks. Watch out for backstabbing partners and directors- there are lots of them that will only watch out for themselves.

Vantaggi

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Svantaggi

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.
