      Ok for first job

      Pros

      Fun environment for recent grads. Don't stay longer than 1-2 years though. Decent pay for first job. Not much work/life balance in the PM position. I would recommend for people who: are still trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives after college and don't have big career ambitions in the moment; if you are planning on saving money to go to grad school and don't really care about developing skills; if you are interested in living in NYC and this is the most reasonable option.

      Cons

      You will develop some basic skills. Nothing really relevant to learn in the Associate/PM positions. Left without developing strong transferable skills. It can be harmful if you stay too long.

      OK work environment, AMAZING colleagues, but not a good place for career advancement and learning

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Easy work -Good place to get comfortable on the phone, with cold-calling, reaching out to people, using databases (internal Guidepoint database, LinkedIn, CapIQ). -Good place to kick-start your career, especially as a foreigner with limited German language skills. Your multilingual skills are your greatest asset here. -Good place to learn how to communicate with clients over email and phone (almost no opportunities to meet clients in person, unless you are in the non-operations team). -Colleagues are great! Most of them are genuinely nice people who are fun to work with. -International work environment with colleagues from 25+ nationalities -Young team, plenty of outside events and team-building events -Relaxed working environment -Multilingual environment -Open-space office with a great culture of colleagues collaborating/ helping each other -Company is pretty transparent in terms of growth and performance: weekly and monthly progress is always shared with the whole office. -Nice office location with a huge and quiet garden to enjoy the sun during the summer -Open door policy where HR and Management are easily accessible when you need them

      Cons

      -At times unprofessional -Work is boring and extremely monotonous after the first month. Anyone could do this job with a bit of training. -One does not gain hard skills that can be used in other industries. If you want to transition later in your career, your best chances are in the HR field. Otherwise, expect starting in a junior position in any other field. I wouldn't recommend staying here too long if you are serious about learning and developing your career. -Low pay. Unless you become a Research/ Project Manager, Team Lead, or work in the non-operations team, expect low pay. In other words, the „Associate“ position is the worst at Guidepoint. -Too much emphasis on numbers and results rather than on employee motivation and work attitude -Not enough learning opportunities, other than the initial on-boarding process during the first week -Rules are made when it best suits management, then changed when it suits them again. If you refer a colleague and they get hired, make sure you get everything in writing, otherwise you will be denied your compensation.
