It's a great company when you are higher up (and better than the reviews indicate for entry level folks)

Pros

- Friendly, relaxed office culture - More of a 9-5 job than other expert networks - Quick promotion for high performers - Lots of opportunities to move internally - Diverse client exposure Overall, this is a pretty good place to work, especially after you "survive" the entry level role. FWIW, 90%+ of the reviews here are for the entry level role, which, admittedly, is tough but essential to the business model. Once you start to manage client relationships it's a solid firm to hone your skills and grow professionally.

Cons

- 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.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you are enjoying working at Guidepoint. Work-life balance is important to us and fits into our “work hard, play hard” culture. While our entry-level roles do involve finding experts for a variety of projects on a daily basis, employees in these roles gain exposure to several industries, including healthcare, finance, energy and industrials, technology and media, and consumer goods and services. Beyond entry-level, employees also have the opportunity to move up into client-facing roles in the career-growth process, so you having something to strive toward in future roles.
