A truly positive life experience - Content Manager/Writer Guidemark Health Employee Review

I'm actually perplexed by the negative reviews on here. I work full time at Guidemark and have never had any of these negative experiences with my immediate manager or upper management. If anything one of the biggest pros is that upper management actually takes the time to speak to you and they CARE about your career progression and what you are passionate about. Everyone from the CEO to my immediate manager have been nothing short of completely supportive. They are also entirely open to new ideas and are not just about maintaining the status quo which I LOVE! The agency is very devoted to clients and their needs while keeping the most important people, the patients, at the center of EVERYTHING we do. The benefits are great (I have worked for a fortune 500 company with almost the same benefit package). The company has a "work hard, play hard" mentality which is awesome and they are very accommodating and totally get that everyone has families and that things come up. So if you are a person who likes sharing your ideas, likes progressing in your career, and genuinely care about making an impact in medical communications this is the right company for you. And as with any job, you get what you put in!

Any con since I have started would be related to COVID and being trained during the pandemic not the company and any of those difficulties are not unique to Guidemark. Many of my friend and family who have started new jobs in the past year across all different industries have had the same challenges. In fact if anything Guidemark has been more aware of these challenges than other companies and have provided me with more than enough support to get through them.

An exceptional platform for mediocrity. All you have to be is somewhat decent and you'll be head and shoulders above the majority.

Glassdoor is manipulated in many companies and Guidemark is no exception. I am confident that any 1 star or above review is done by HR or the Exec leadership team, and shared to try to win points. The responses you see from the consultant they fired from the failed merger is disingenuous. It is not the former CEO or former bad apples that define what's wrong with Guidemark today. It's the back-channeling executives who know there's disorganization and distrust and let their over-inflated sense of importance cloud good judgement and anger good talent. The problem has been and continues to be that a handful of talent is responsible for the bulk of the work and the rest are under-performing or unnecessary. The current 'stand-in' leader brought in a slew of people that have created rifts between teams, an enormous lack of delivery, and distrust among the senior execs who lie through their teeth about synergy and group efforts. It's a meal ticket and there's no passion. A recipe for disaster and I believe everyone knows that we're a falling stone that occasionally sees a parachute to slow our decent but eventually, we'll crash. I'm not unhappy with my role, only with our leadership who can't look past their own egos and be truthful with what they are and mostly, what they aren't. I also feel most badly for our clients who deserve better.
