Pros

You get to work with some interesting well known brands Remote work is possible There is a good amount of autonomy if you get your work done

Cons

More expensive and slower than competitors. The strategic direction of the company is not working. Their advanced products (big data) don't perform as claimed. The CEO and head of sales both left in 2020 which has left gaping holes in culture. Insanely high turnover - during my tenor the heads of marketing, HR, product, sales, key accounts all left in addition to the CEO Very junior people in charge of change management and strategy New leadership is not based in Denver and has desire to continue the amazing culture GutCheck once had. It's truly the end of an era. The main goal for leadership is to be acquired - that means slashing costs/salaries/expenses and focusing totally on the quick buck

Pros

GutCheck is an amazing company to work for. The executive team is made up of very talented individuals, with a clear vision for success, who truly care about the people that work for them. The CEO ensures that the company lives out our mission of being an empathic leader in the market research place both internally and externally. The company has introduced 5 new products to market in the past 1 - 1.5 years and continues to be an innovative leader in the space. Working at GutCheck is dynamic - no day is the same, and you'll always be learning and growing. One of my favorite parts about working at this organization is that if you have an idea and share it, you're very likely to get the green light (and resources!) to make it come to life. The truly amazing thing about GutCheck, though, are the people that make up the organization. GutCheck is full of bright, inspiring, and motivated people who are committed to working together to support each other and our clients.

Cons

I think this is a con for nearly every company right now, but the remote environment has meant that there is slightly less collaboration across different teams, specifically at the individual contributor level. It would be great if there were more cross-functional projects for people to work on so they can get more exposure and have a wider-spread impact across the organization.
