Pros

Great colleagues. Everyone is really nice.

Cons

As a research analyst, its just a reporter role. There is really no analytical or research involved. Management tries to make people think this is a some wall-street investment bank platform when its just a news & resource platform. Work is quite mundane and repetitive.

Pros

Excellent office culture, very kind co-workers and managers who are caring and always willing to help. Diverse, multi-cultural environment. Great opportunity to learn about various industries and what's happening in them. Salary + performance bonus are great for an entry-level position in Singapore. Benefits are good too, including gym allowance, medical, dental, company outings, and a nice office in a central location. The tasks themselves (stalk LinkedIn, cold-call, cold-InMail, basically offer people money to do phone consultations) are generally doable for the average population.

Cons

Extremely fast pace - due to the nature of the industry, it is inevitable to expect results in a matter of days, sometimes hours. Constantly very heavy on social interaction over phone, LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp, which can be extremely draining for introverts. Stress over monthly targets - they are feasible, but if you're the type to brood over these things, they may feel like knives hanging over your head. Repetitive and rather monotonous workflow. Requires multi-tasking skills as you handle 6+ projects at a time (I personally find the constant task-switching very tiring).

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear about your positive experience working in our Singapore office. We agree that we have excellent company culture with competitive salary and benefits. We recognize that certain elements of the entry-level Client Service Associate position can be repetitive, and often find that repetition early in the role is a great way to learn and refine skills needed for success. If you wish to continue the conversation about your experience, please email us at feedback@guidepoint.com. Best of luck in your future professional endeavors!

Pros

Guidepoint's European operation, although growing quickly, had mantained a close-knit feel up to the day I left. Each person is an individual and personal inclination and personality traits are recognised. If people are seen to be giving their all, they will be supported and trusted by management, in what I think is a fair exchange. It is quite possible to stand out for performance (and likewise, for slacking off!). Working hours are absolutely decent for the industry and pay. Management has an open-door policy and rewards honesty and hard work.

Cons

It is a very small industry, so job prospects after Guidepoint need to be carefully evaluated and chosen. Several relevant skills can be developed on this job but they need to be well-framed to be relevant for a role in a different industry.
