Pros

The company is a meritocracy and those who produce according to its clearly defined metrics are rewarded. Guidepoint staff are almost uniformly smart and ambitious. Researchers and project managers have a unique seat from which to learn some of the factors that influence how business and investment decisions are made. It's definitely a good first job for people interested in business and the financial markets. Due to sustained growth of the company, management is investing in processes and technology and support staff to make it easier for staff to do their jobs well.

Cons

People are required to be in the office during set hours to do their jobs. (Management is making that more palatable by providing free snacks, offering a more relaxed dress code, and holding social events.). The New York office is located in a nice building with lots of amenities nearby, but the layout could be improved to facilitate teamwork. Starting salaries definitely could be higher.

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.
