Avantages
Guidepoint's European operation, although growing quickly, had mantained a close-knit feel up to the day I left. Each person is an individual and personal inclination and personality traits are recognised. If people are seen to be giving their all, they will be supported and trusted by management, in what I think is a fair exchange. It is quite possible to stand out for performance (and likewise, for slacking off!). Working hours are absolutely decent for the industry and pay. Management has an open-door policy and rewards honesty and hard work.
Inconvénients
It is a very small industry, so job prospects after Guidepoint need to be carefully evaluated and chosen. Several relevant skills can be developed on this job but they need to be well-framed to be relevant for a role in a different industry.
