Why is everyone down on guidehouse? They’re posting a lot of jobs in my market and I’m entertaining the idea of switching over to them for a level/salary bump

My SO worked at Guidehouse and left because they had never been so unhappy. Their medical benefits are very sub standard and a lot of people we know that work there are very unhappy with the leadership. There are many fantastic people that work at Guidehouse, brilliant, well educated, lovely people.

Pay is good however, staff aug work

We generally pay at the high end of the market unless you’re highly technical and can leverage at Booz, etc. We do have a few operational challenges given a carve out and a merger within the last few years. Also, the minority of grumbling employees who’ve got too much time on their hands tend to be quite vocal on FB.

Depends on your YOE and what you can be billed at. The top end of senior is 140ish excluding some marginal cases.

Lol at D responses.

OP just like any federal consultancy there’s gonna be a lower level of work on certain contracts to build a revenue base. That’s just how it works. But there are a number of significant projects that have high impact. Just have to know what you’re stepping into.

I’d say it depends on the practice. I’m in State and Local and it’s great. More of a commercial tempo than Federal, and interesting projects too - including on strategies for cities, climate, economic growth which are interesting to me. There has been a lot of growth in COVID work which can be a little mundane but the big picture of what we’re working towards is rewarding.

Comp is good but benefits are uncompetitive - I guess Veritas don’t want lots of illiquid liabilities like 401ks when they eventually sell us off in a few years.
