Svantaggi
I had an amazing experience at Navigant until it was acquired by Guidehouse. Unfortunately, the new leadership team does not know much about the energy sector and has changed the structure of the company in a very confusing way. Now people are split up into regional areas of focus, which doesn't allow individual employees to thrive and build upon their skillsets. This is sad because there are so many smart and talented people hired at Guidehouse. Unfortunately, people are treated more like numbers instead of people. There is no room to carry out internal initiatives within the company, which means everything is client facing work. This is problematic because it impact the company culture and breeds an environment of lack of creativity, work life balance, cohesion, culture, and support. Managers are not trained in management skillsets, so you have to be lucky if you get a manager that knows what they're doing and can support you. You have to seek out your own work, advocate for yourself, sell yourself, and show your resume constantly to even get on a project. It feels like you're applying to a job even though you already have a job.
