Great Company - Associate Director Guidehouse Employee Review

Great people to work with

Benefits aren’t what they used to be

There are some good people depending on the project. There is some level of stability if you want to coast rather than excel.

Private equity masters are cutting benefits left and right. DTO is a scam to not pay out leave and to push consultants to do unpaid overtime bd that cuts into their utilization. They changed “floating holidays” so they count against your utilization like normal time off. They force themselves onto your personal phone and make you change your pin and passwords every three months while cutting the cellphone stipend from 100 to 55 bucks. They waited until after 2025 ended to pull the rug out and kill the bonus program. A bonus program that has been in place all 7-8 years that the company has existed. They will do anything to not promote you even when you are constantly told you are working above and beyond your current level. They have stopped allowing mid-year promotions, so there is only one opportunity a year to get promoted. It took two years of going above and beyond to get promoted. Senior management is desperate to be big 4 when they are clearly not.
