I generally found Guidehouse consultants to be way more 'normal' than Big 4 consultants I had coffee chats with (they look and talk like their soul was sucked out of their body).
They were already PE backed for awhile so I doubt much changes at the firm.
As others have said, Bain Capital, not Bain! But definitely can't hurt to have a lot of people who came from consulting backgrounds working on this portco. Likely won't change much for Guidehouse, except for new acquisitions. Has been a great buy and build so far with some high profile acquisitions, so everyone is probably used to that as well. Also, Guidehouse brand is really good in their markets, especially on the public side, so think they'll be fine with staying with the Guidehouse brand.
Guidehouse acts as servicing agent on very large chunk of SBA loans and anything negatively impacting that servicing would have material effects on banks and other lending entities operating in that space. It's hard enough to sell SBA loans; screwing up the servicing would make it even harder and reduce access to capital for small businesses.
