Had a great interview at Guidehouse recently. We discussed much of the Bain Capital initiatives and reorg and how advisory took the biggest hit. It feels like a great fit, but I know it’s just one persons. Can anyone provide additional insights on how the year has been/is going?

I used to work at Guidehouse and I left 2 months ago.

The culture was pretty good and the people very nice. It is a high performance culture, but it is not a sharp-elbow culture (yet!). There is no forced up or out. You can go as fast as you want career wise. The benefits, especially medical, was excellent IMO.

When Bain Capital bought Guidehouse the cultural vibe changed. It is hard to quantify culture, but change is palpable. What was extraordinary is now ordinary.

If you get in and are billable, you should be fine.

Thank you. This is what I needed. Much appreciated

Utilization is king. Any time on bench = find work or laid off. Limited support for anything not project related, including BD or tool development. Short term mindset. Hard to hold on to top performers as they are being picked off by competitors. Lots of new backfill, we'll see what that means for the culture and performance.

Good to know. Utilization sounded like no issue as the REQ was opened to help the HM

Leaving GH next week due to comp and growth issues. Overall decent place to work, very team and practice dependent. Pretty laid back compared to other places.

It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?

I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
