      Pros

      Young, talented team working on fast-paced, international projects, recruiting experts from diverse industries/fields. Management expects you to work autonomously and provides support when needed. New ideas are very welcome and it is rewarding to see how quickly they are put into practice. Hence there is a lot of room for professional and personal growth if you are an ambitious, entrepreneurial person. Atmosphere in the office is warm. People at Guidepoint Global share their free time together and a lot of friendships found their beginning here. Besides, Guidepoint Global organizes regular team events. Salaries/benefits are good. Great place to start your career.

      Cons

      If you experience a fast-paced work environment as rather stressful than challenging and exciting, Guidepoint Global is not for you.

      Pros

      It's in midtown? There are good lunch places around. The office space is clean.

      Cons

      Review titled “Solid place to work. ” was not written by an employee. I worked at GP for a few years and can say with certainty that this sounds like someone on the management team wrote it. Summary in the Cons section is what they tell people during interviews, I heard it over and over when I interviewed for my team. The actual work environment is more reflected in some of the other reviews that give 1-2 star ratings. The truth is, people are severely micromanaged, not paid as well as they used to be, with no career growth potential. I would describe it as a toxic environment.

      Not the right place for most!

      Pros

      There are some very intelligent and hard working individuals at Guidepoint. Definitely an environment to build relationships and camaraderie. The culture is slowly changing as the HR team is throwing more events (company lunches, happy hours, etc.). Also, if you're lucky, you'll be favored by management and receive robust client accounts yielding a lot of commissions.

      Cons

      The CEO is extremely awkward and WAY too involved with minute details that should be left to his management team. When frustrated and/or concerned, he can also be very unprofessional. Favoritism and politics play a huge role here. If you're not working hard to constantly impress management, you will be repeatedly overlooked. Ivy league graduates are lured here as they believe they will be doing "market research", when in reality they browse LinkedIn all day. As a result, there is high turnover here and most people stop putting forth their best efforts.
