Pros

Hours aren't terrible Good place for college graduates to start off in NYC as a launchpad for better companies.

Cons

- Apathy and fatigue dominate office culture - face time and arbitrary metrics determine reward/punishment. - Expect title inflation instead of a year end raise/bonus - All decisions stem from misinformed/aloof CEO - HR pretends to act as a neutral employee on Glassdoor to inflate the company's ratings. Actual opinions of the firm/CEO are much lower than ratings suggest.

Pros

close to grand central. odd comradery between employees because everyone is equally miserable. friendly and intelligent colleagues.

Cons

Guidepoint is a thankless, stressful and unhealthy environment to work in. The Research Analyst/Project Manager/whatever-management-has-spent-too-much-time-and-resources-on-deciding-what-to-call-it-this-week position sounds appealing but it's the job of HR to write ads that seem that way when in reality it is not at all. The lack of structure, management and support in this company is simply astonishing. low base salary. no chance for career development. long hours both in and out of the office (i-banking hours for a McDonald's job). a sales team that provides no support once an account is secured/doesn't even understand what it is that the company actually does (shouldn't they know what it is that they're selling?). strong emphasis on face-time. no flexibility to work remotely for any reason.
