Pros

If you want to be surrounded by unmotivated people who act like they are in college, this is a great fit!

Cons

I worked on the consulting team for 8 months. My experience at Guidepoint was ruined by the culture and leadership. The leaders of the consulting team are extremely unprofessional, sexist, disrespectful, and immature. Favoritism dominates (which caters to men), and this cycle unfortunately dictates the promotions on the team. When the leader and managers want someone’s attention, they will snap in their face and yell “you.” The environment is ridiculous and unprofessional. People openly chat about drinking as if they are still in college. The leadership is flawed, and it creates a terrible culture for the company.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate learning about your particular experience and are invested in ensuring a positive work experience for all Guidepoint employees. Guidepoint has a strong practice of promoting from within and we implement formal procedures to ensure employees are rewarded for their work and can advance their careers. Entry-level client service employees are promoted on or before their 12-month anniversary date. In the rare instances that an employee is not promoted in that cycle, it is because the employee is not ready to move to the next position. Thank you again for your input. Please email us at feedback@guidepoint.com should you wish to continue the conversation about your experience. Best of luck in your future professional endeavors.

Pros

the only pros are the salary and two hybrid days

Cons

Do not take a job with Guidepoint, even if you were a strong student in college and consider yourself a hard worker. The project managers are fine, but the team leads are awful. You won’t learn any tangible skills; the work largely consists of reaching out to people on LinkedIn for hours on end. On top of that, they will let people go very easily. Stay away from this company.
