      A breath of fresh air......

      Pros

      I joined GuidePoint after leaving a much larger company. I became frustrated with the office politics and bureaucratic red tape that prevented any change or innovation. I am so happy I left. GuidePoint has been such a breath of fresh air and I enjoy working again. While GPS is still a small (but quickly growing) firm, they have put all the right tools and processes in place for a successful business. We have a great reputation in the security world and have grown primarily through internal employee networks and word of mouth. Besides a great culture, there are 100% employer paid health for employees, a primarily virtual environment, and super flexible work schedule.

      Cons

      The 401K doesn't kick in until 6 months, and I have heard they are looking to change that. I would like to see more benefits options like HSA/FSA and commuter benefits for those working on client site.

      Pros

      Incredible company culture. Work hard, play hard environment. Annual company trip/sales kick-off. GuidePoint hires the very best and the brightest.

      Cons

      Sales will sell anything. This creates pressure to recommend products which are not best-of-breed. Sales will not hesitate to throw the nearest engineer under the bus.

      Great Company to Work For

      Pros

      This company is great to work for because it is full of incredible talent and has a great culture. No matter how technical or obscure of a question I have, one of my colleagues likely has an answer or can help me out. The company is young and growing quickly thanks to the immense amount of talent. One of the company's core values is, "Don't be a jerk!" and it shows in almost every single interaction I have had with my colleagues. Everyone is good at something and together we accomplish some pretty awesome things. This company is strictly an information security company, so their services and offerings aren't diluted with unrelated distractions.

      Cons

      Not so much a con, but the company is largely virtual so your boss might be in another state or time zone. There are ways to work around this, but it's not a typical office-environment. This might be a con for some, but this is a work hard, play hard kind of company. People here do whatever it takes to get the job done, and done right, even if that means working late hours when needed. This is not the place you come to work straight-8's and skate.
