Pros

I really like the fact that GuidePoint Security fosters a workplace environment that encourages me to challenge myself and build and improve upon my skills. GuidePoint provides the necessary training and mentorship I need to meet my goals and succeed in the company and in the industry. Another great benefit is working remotely. GuidePoint has a great IT department that makes working from home seamless. There are tools in place that make it easy to collaborate, which helps me to feel and be connected at all times. I also like that our company leadership is just a Slack, email, or phone call away to address questions or concerns.

Cons

When I started at the company almost three years ago, internal communication was a challenge. As we've grown, we've put tools and processes in place to bridge that gap.

Pros

Access to a lot of incredibly talented and smart individuals and strong partnerships with security vendors. Great company if you are experienced as the salary is extremely competitive. Great jumping point to a security career.

Cons

The company was founded and grown through personal networks and as such, there are a lot of personal friendships that transcend managerial duties. While there is an open door policy with leadership know that privacy is not respected, anything you think is private, isn't. Account Executives have their own agenda's, engineers and consultants are thrown under the bus within a moments notice if it benefits them/their clients. While engineers have more centralized management, sales does not, and since they are bringing in previous clients, aka profit, they are given a wide berth. If you aren't already highly experienced, expect a high salary differential with your counterparts, even if you bill at the same rate and have the same billable percentage.
