Guidehouse is definitely the more unorganized interview process I’ve ever been through then to get ghosted. Dodged a bullet Guidehouse

Guidehouse isn’t that bad. Guidehouse is still relatively new and trying to figure itself out. In federal consulting all the consulting firms bid on the same contracts.

funnylike

I’m also exiting Guidehouse. G3, G6 where y’all heading off to? I’m leaving for AWS.

But I enjoyed my time and I like my team at Guidehouse.

Guidehouse, like every other firm has their pros and cons. Your experience is what you make of it.

I wouldn’t pay attention to the disgruntled employees who talk negatively about Guidehouse.

If they talk negatively about Guidehouse, then they did the same at their last company, which is why they left for Guidehouse, unless they’re a campus hire. They will most likely do the same at their next company.

Since we have the attention of Guidehouse professionals, what does an Associate Director translate to at a Big 4? Is it a Senior Manager? And what's the salary range for AD in the DC area?

like

Yes.

Regarding pay. The range is wide but still aligns pretty closely with the old PWC days. Likely ~130k to ~175/180k. Will need someone to validate that range as I am mostly pulling it from hearsay and my backside.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
