Pros

Team!!! Never experienced a more friendly, nice and great work atmosphere. Team Events are usually well planned and often. Good opportunity for non-german speaking people who want to do their first steps.

Cons

At least the job as an Research Analyst is really one-sided and the SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME everyday. You do not learn any hard skills. You do not learn any detailed knowledge about a topic. It takes only up to 2 weeks to learn the job. After that no other skills to achieve. Also growth opportunities are super limited. Payment and also Incentive system (only based on luck) are horrible. It has almost nothing to do with a RESEARCH role. Holidays are only minimum for Germany. And they even TRY to tell you when to take the holidays. If you are not self confident enough, no chance to place them whenever you feel like taking them. No social benefits!

Pros

the only pros are the salary and two hybrid days

Cons

Do not take a job with Guidepoint, even if you were a strong student in college and consider yourself a hard worker. The project managers are fine, but the team leads are awful. You won’t learn any tangible skills; the work largely consists of reaching out to people on LinkedIn for hours on end. On top of that, they will let people go very easily. Stay away from this company.
