My sister got laid off and is interviewing with BAE Systems and Guidehouse. She was working for a small company doing (federal) business analyst-type work. I don’t know much about either but hoping to get some answers from people who do so I can help her out. Anyone know about WLB, salary, culture? She has 5 YOE.

WLB at BAE is not great, but my father (yes it’s a my dad reference) was a VP there for 10 years. He loved it. It is a high performing group there.

Don't come to guidehouse. It is a dumpster fire. They pay well to mask it.

BAE Systems the arms company? What kind of role?

BAE will not have the same career trajectory. It is just a normal corporation so if you want a promo you need to apply for a more senior job. As opposed to the more conveyor belt approach at consultancies.

Guidehouse must be sector dependent. My pillar is great!

Depends on the sector. I like where I am at Guidehouse. I know someone who left BAE Bc it was horrible but everyone has different experiences.

I do understand the case of better WLB and social benefits than the US. Hence not a direct comparison.

Anyone who understands the market willing to share their take?

Thanks!
