Guidepoint Project Manager reviews

- The RA role sucks - it's great exposure for an entry level person, but it sucks. It sucks at all of our competitor firms too. High pressure, rote, dumb work. The firm could do a much better job of integrating RA's into client facing roles. That said, the role is not without its benefits. The salary is competitve and benefits are reasonably good. Hours are good and you aren't expected to work when not in the office (a rarity these days). - Limited technology to support more flexible work arrangements. The CEO has this hangup about people being at their desks every day. It's not 1990 any more. - The physical office is gross and terrible, but they are moving to new digs later this year.

I haven't had many jobs, so it was hard to compare Guidepoint or know if it's like every other company until I left. I've started working at another small company now and I can see the differences. It was a very sour place. We were treated like factory workers, even though we had people from good schools. The CEO walks around to see who was at their desks. We received emails before snowstorms and hurricanes telling us we had to come to the office no matter what. Like it was ok if we got hit by a car or something. By the time I left almost all of the people I knew when I started didn't work there anymore. And when I was there, everyone I knew was looking for a job. It was like being a senior in college again, with 3 classes having graduated in front of us and most students being freshmen, sophomores and juniors. And everyone still there looking for a job.
