What people are saying about Navigant

Consulting

9 months ago

works at 

Deloitte

I was at Navigant for 5.5 years from consultant to manager. Worked in the FS group and did some TAS work across industries here and there. We were under the Guidehouse name for the last two years or so. In terms of resume, would folks suggest I use the Navigant name, Guidehouse name, or both? I know neither carry weight and I’m aware of the reputation of both, so no need to remind me, just curious if one would hurt less on the resume.

              Pros

              - Friendly colleagues and senior management fairly approachable. - Strong expertise in certain verticals healthcare, energy etc. and a great opportunity to learn for junior level employees. - Good work/life balance options in terms of being abled to work flexible schedules - Reasonable compensation and benefits.

              Cons

              - Limited collaboration across practices and within certain practices because compensation structure for Ds and MDs is based more on achieving individual targets. - Challenging work environment at mid career stage where utilization targets are too aggressive which does not lend itself well to focusing efforts on business development initiatives that will get you to the next career stage. - Work in some verticals can get boring and junior staff at times may not have flexibility to develop skills beyond their sub practice areas.

                      It is a very corporate environment which allows for people to fall through the cracks and promotes competition over collaboration.

                      Is it common to get past all 5-6 interviews with all positive feedback to just be left on read? I'm trying to be patient since Turkey5 just happened in the CPG world, but also super antsy to know why they haven't given me any updates (since 11/17).

                      Underwriter

                      Is it ok to apply for another position for the same company if I am already currently in the interview process for another position with the company? I feel the recruiter has ghosted me for the current interview since the job posting shows filled on the site but my status in workday is still open.

                      Two situations, what do I do?: 1. Recruiter A reached out yesterday to tell me I’m invited to round 3 interview. I did not get an invite to accept - do I email and ask for it or wait? 2. Recruiter B said she would call me today at 10:30 because I told her I’m available all day. It’s almost noon and still no call. Do I wait? How long?
