Not my defense contractor job. Everything was lowered including 401k contribution and annual raises. They blamed it on sequestration. But in hindsight, I think they were making tons of money and did it to increase stock prices. On the bright side, the work was stable. But overall, they acted like bullies and too advantage of the weak.

If you are on a billable contract with good labor category rates, you have nothing to worry about. Raises were good and fine. If you are doing non billable work or on the bench/beach then you have to worry about losing your job.

Yep, GH paid out

PwC Public Sector =/= Guidehouse

These days only the top 5% of performers get bonuses worth a damn. Raises are mostly based off of rank pay band. If you’re getting decent raises at GH and you didn’t get promoted, it means you’re underpaid. Partners had to keep total payroll increases to 2% last performance cycle.

Yep. I worked for a midsize firm and Daddy D during the recession. I was on funded projects at both, raises and stuff continued as normal.
