- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Very flexible, great benefits, vacation pay and sick along with holiday pay.
Cons
Navigant was taken over by Guidehouse and it becam all corporate
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Coworkers were great. Lots of smart, positive people.
Cons
I worked for Navigant Research, which was Pike Research until it was acquired by Navigant. Navigant's strategy seems to be to acquire start-ups and keep those employees' salaries suppressed. I did essentially the same work as folks on the consulting side but got paid about half as much because I wasn't on billable hours. I might have switched over but didn't enjoy the work enough to stick around.

Culture Shifts Since Acquisition, but Leadership Making it a Priority to Change
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The people are great and the work is varied, and mostly interesting
Cons
Culture has shifted since the acquisition but leadership is aware and attempting to take the steps to right it
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good colleagues and some interesting projects. Good training opportunities available.
Cons
The larger it became, the fewer perks there were to employment. Executive managed seemed to stop listening to employees and were focused solely on bottomline. Long work hours with bonus pay that was not commensurate with extra hours worked.

Minorities/employees of color fired and quit at a disproportionate rate
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Work schedule is usually predictable
Cons
While I do not know what the rest of Navigant is like, my year-long experience on the largest managed services project has led me to believe that this workplace is incredibly racist. For starters, the project is overwhelmingly white yet employees of color/employees of ethnic minorities are fired and quit at a disproportionate rate. To date, 5 out of the 5 employees fired are persons of color or from minority origins. Of the 16 employees that has left the firm, 9 come from minority ethnic origins. Moreover, project management created a "low-performance team." With the except of two individuals, everyone that has been on the team in the past or is current on the team is an employee of color/ethnic minority. Overshadowing the above statistic is the fact that when employees of color leave, they often enter more prestigious companies or more advanced roles. Meanwhile, white employees on the project with worse performance are given endless opportunities and positive attention from management to motivate growth and remediation. Egregious instances of racism occur on a frequent basis. Certain project managers constantly mix up employees of similar ethnic origins/language capabilities with each other. It is absolutely useless to escalate to senior managers because they are extremely close to the offenders and any reasonable person would see that their integrity is compromised. The only instance of HR report, that I know of, ended with the HR rep patronizing the reporter and laughing at her in her face. If you are not a white man from Long Island, avoid this place!
Continue readingWe appreciate and welcome feedback from current and former employees. Navigant has a longstanding commitment to a culture that values and promotes diversity and inclusion, and does not tolerate any form of discrimination or inappropriate conduct. Navigant takes all accusations of discrimination or racism seriously and offers a variety of options for reporting, should someone have a concern, including an anonymous phone hotline as well as a website. Employee questions or concerns are routed to an independent Legal and Compliance team, and we encourage conversations with these resources to appropriately address and resolve issues related to the workplace environment. In the specific case of this posting, we have reviewed data on the racial makeup of the team and of those who have chosen to depart, and the data are not aligned with the author’s claims.
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
People were overall very focused on the culture at Navigant. Leadership was very involved in mentoring junior staff. Work life balance is possible with effective management. I loved the people I worked with - only reason I am giving it 4 stars.
Cons
We were acquired by Guidehouse before I left and there was a lot of challenges that were not effectively addressed. Most employees felt that leadership took a big payday at our expense. A lot of high performers left. Significantly underpaid and challenges negotiating compensation up to market levels. Overall feeling of it being a “boys club” and lack of strong women leaders in Healthcare. Promotion tracks are inconsistent with work experience. Hiring practices focus on “top tier” schools when many of our top performers come from state schools.
