Pros

Hybrid work schedule, decent pay, and all the associates are new graduates so they're fun to hang out with

Cons

The entire job is just scrolling through LinkedIn and harassing people with actual careers. You build no skills, are micromanaged, and expected to work extremely long hours. People in management are not promoted based on merit and have no business managing other people. It's incredibly stressful for no reason, considering how mindless the nature of the work is. You won't learn anything about market research or any valuable skills. It really is 8+ hours of using LinkedIn to harass people and cold calling people who really do not want to be called. Their business practices are shady, and the only way to leave the job is if you go back to school or can network your way into a new position. Also, it's an incredibly hostile environment for anyone who is not a man or white. If you're a new graduate looking for your first job, keep looking. They intentionally recruit recent grads who won't recognize all of Guidepoint's red flags until it's too late. You're better off being unemployed for a few more months than having to suffer here. Take all the negative reviews seriously.

Thank you for your feedback. It's unfortunate that you feel that your time at Guidepoint was wasted, but of course, we see things a bit differently. The role of associate teaches a range of hard and soft skills like strategic prioritization, problem-solving, and accountability that will benefit you wherever your career takes you. Just ask the thousands of former associates who have achieved great things in their careers as doctors or lawyers or hedge fund analysts, to name a few. We'd be happy to discuss further if you'd like. Please reach out to us at feedback@guidepoint.com and we’ll schedule some time.

Pros

Relatively young work culture and regular company parties (for work successes, summer, holidays etc). If you are open and friendly, you can meet some great people. Great place to figure out what you REALLY want to do.

Cons

Upper management can really con you. Be careful whom you trust with your personal and career goals. The CEO is very obviously numbers driven and doesn't seem to care about the attention and details that go into the work. If he does, the rest of the teams don't know/sense that. The office was very crowded by the time I left (although I hear they are moving)

Pros

Easy job with exposure to clients in the financial sector. Ideal for candidates who want to be a recruiter or try and get their foot in the door with reputable financial firms.

Cons

Majority of employees are either In their early 20's who leave after a year or have been there for 5+ years and will never go anywhere else. Limited age diversity. Immature fraternity culture. Medical benefits costly.
