Pros

- Remote work (although seems it is shifting, depending on role) - There are a lot of very knowledgeable people at this company that know a lot about their Investor Relations; you can learn a lot. - Great portfolio of clients.

Cons

- While leaders can have a full understanding of IR, some lack key leadership skills, as they have never lead a team in the past. - CEO can be very easily influenced by management. - No diversity in company, people come from very similar backgrounds. Diversity is VERY lacking, take a look at their website and look at their team pictures. - GuideLign division goes through far too many management and employee changes, their team for this service is so inconsistent - consistently having restructures in that team, resulting in a lack of the quality of service and knowledge. -

Pros

- Work-life balance is generally respected. - Most people are lovely, at least to your face. - Respectable client list.

Cons

- The culture is hollow. It's mostly talk with little to no follow-through. - The company entered a tailspin with cascading problems after the Covid bump peaked. Unrealistic growth expectations lead to over-hiring and subsequently several rounds of layoffs. - Management re-orgs the company about every 9 months, creating confusion while shuffling responsibilities/expectations. - New initiatives of questionable value are quickly introduced and soon forgotten or ignored. - The upper management group has been there for many years and is far too comfortable with itself. Poor outcomes are attributed to direct reports. - Most of the most talented individuals recognize the dog and pony show and move on for better opportunities/salaries elsewhere.
