Op I personally know many people at Guidehouse and let me tell you they are amazing, capable and kind. Every one I know is unhappy. Now I have a small pool of friends 15 ish but at various levels. The partners got a 20% pay cut last year and are expecting another 20% cut. The directors I know got what they feel to be poor bonuses and increases. Wealth builder is gone which was a big perk. And many complain about the benefits being mediocre and not nearly as good as PWC. I also think their brand is struggling. Where you walk into a client as Deloitte, most folks don’t know the Guidehouse brand. There is also lots of talk about them positioning themselves to be sold again. What happens to the people? They are concerned and looking for another position. They hire excellent people but I am not sure those top tier people feel they are treated as such. I have heard they are throwing big money to get people to jump to them and paying the new people more than the legacy folks. Good luck
GH is partially owned by a PE firm, it'll 100% be sold off to another PE firm, another company or IPO
I would negotiate for more. I like it here. Am prior Big 4. We are recruiting successfully from D.
No. For the love of God, no. This place is a dumpster fire.
I mean, I like it. Also, I work a lot but I hear it is way more chill than Deloitte.
GH has been slashing salaries because of its PE ownership
D2- this is untrue.

Stay at D, that’s my very honest advice
Why?
Stay
Say more please

I was part of PwC that transitioned to GH.
I would need to have my salary double to go back to an organization that has limited upward mobility and will need to be sold/IPO’d

Well they aren’t a CPA firm so there is only so much work that can be done. So on the finance side that opportunities to be a prime are slim. Because of this growth isn’t as inherent.
I said IPO because a PE firm stood this up. They need a return on their capital. The most likely action will be to take the company public, much like a BAH.
They are acquiring other firms for two reasons: they don’t have capabilities and they need to show growth for that IPO (even though it’s not exactly organic).
Will I ever go back? Maybe if I don’t make MD at EY and I want a 40 hour workweek to do the bare minimum.
I don't know about other divisions at the firm but within the National Security sector at Guidehouse I got more than a 30% raise from Deloitte and love the work environment here better. It was not a lateral move though so that may explain the lower % increase. Went from C to SC.

Offer would need to be around a 30% increase to even be considered.
A contrarian view ... jump, take the salary increase and treat it as an 18-24 mos move ... cyber isn’t going anywhere as a discipline... then you can look to make 15-20 % more in a few years.
right, the damage at GH is mostly done as far as benefits. What you see is what you get. Jump now, you’re probably joining too late to get a performance bonus this year anyway
Which sector?

Lol to the doom and gloom above...
It entirely depends on your circumstances and team. I would 100% recommend working for my partner and director doing the actual management consulting work we do (not staff aug or audit readiness).
